Unlike many models of German designed tanks and self-propelled guns, the Hetzer was an extremely reliable chassis. (It was originally a Czechoslovakian designed and built vehicle). In 1944 in Hungary, 100 newly issued Hetzers arrived by train at a railhead; then were driven by their crew's seventy miles to their positions on the front line...and not ONE of them broke down or suffered mechanical difficulties during the trip. This detail was considered noteworthy enough to be included in the official report to headquarters after successful completion of the move.

I'm building one of these 1:72 right now. This is brilliant for confirming details. Think I'll copy that camouflage pattern.
Always nice to see a Hetzer "action"! Wouldn't mind driving one home 👍🤣😂
