Italeri 7057 1/72 Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer Scale Model Kit  [IT-7057S]

Italeri 7057 - 1/72 Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer Overview

The Italeri 7057 kit recreates the Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer, a compact German tank destroyer fielded in World War II. Built on the Czechoslovakian 38T chassis, the original vehicle combined a low profile with effective armament, and this 1/72 scale plastic replica captures that historic silhouette for display and study.

Background and Authenticity

Entering service in late 1944, the Hetzer was produced to provide a smaller, more economical tank destroyer. The model reflects the vehicle's layout and defensive features, including its sloped armour and gun mount, giving modellers a chance to explore wartime design choices at a small scale.

Scale Appeal and Display Notes

This 1/72 kit is aimed at modellers who value compact accuracy. Its size makes it convenient for shelf displays or crowded dioramas while still offering identifiable detail for painting and weathering work.
