Osprey Modelling 10 : Modelling the Jagdpanzer 38(t) 'Hetzer'

In the second half of World War II the German Army was facing numerically superior armoured forces on both Eastern and Western Fronts. The solution they came up with was to increase their tank destroyer production to cope with this threat. One of these tank destroyers was the Jagdpanzer 38t, or 'Hetzer'. This proved to be a successful design and over 2,500 were produced in the 14 months before the war ended. This book covers the information that the AFV modeller will need to build variants of the Jagdpanzer 38t 'Hetzer', including the Bergepanzer 38t recovery vehicle. It also includes camouflage, paint schemes and markings that were used on this vehicle. Text by Gary Edmundson.
