Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz.138/2 "Hetzer" Early Version # 6708


The Sd.Kfz.138/2 "Hetzer" Early Version was a German tank destroyer utilized during World War II.
Commonly known as the Hetzer, this compact and highly maneuverable vehicle was developed to provide German forces with a mobile and effective anti-tank capability.
The Hetzer was built on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis, which gave it good mobility and agility.
Its low profile and sloped armor design provided effective protection against enemy fire while minimizing its silhouette, making it harder to spot and target on the battlefield.
Armed with a 75mm Pak 39 L/48 main gun, the Hetzer was capable of engaging enemy tanks and armored vehicles with considerable firepower.
Its main gun was housed in a fully enclosed casemate, which provided additional protection for the crew while offering a wide field of fire.
The Hetzer Early Version was deployed on various fronts during World War II, where it proved to be a highly effective tank destroyer.
Its combination of mobility, firepower, and armor made it a formidable opponent for Allied tanks, particularly in defensive operations and ambush tactics.
Despite its effectiveness, the Hetzer faced challenges such as mechanical reliability issues and limited crew comfort due to its cramped interior.
Nevertheless, it remained in service with the German army until the end of the war, where it played a significant role in armored formations and defensive actions.
The Sd.Kfz.138/2 "Hetzer" Early Version exemplified the German military's approach to creating cost-effective and versatile combat vehicles capable of fulfilling multiple roles on the battlefield.
Its success as a tank destroyer ensured its place as one of the most iconic vehicles of the German army during World War II.
