Default 1/16th HETZER PROJECT

Yea.....I had to do one! Though I did not know that good 'ol Rex Ross had one done and Bigfive69 was starting one also, but hey,....what the heck...right?

ANYWAY, just a little preview of what is going on down here in Texas,....After talking to a few of our club members down here, they all agreed to having one, and I'm not crazy enough to sctratch about 5 of them so resin copies of the hulls and road wheels seemed the way to go. So, what we have here is the "master"being put together, now just mind you,.. this has just started this week, so dont expect a "wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am" like I did on the Stuart!
I have just did the sides, rear 1/4 panels and rear plates and in the process of filling in and sanding. Please note the "massive" heigth that the upper hull has!

The over-all heigth will be 4 1/2" This will be done in a somewhat sectional set for ease of casting in resin.

I will post more pics when some more "major" work has been completed. Thank goodness I have a real hetzer no more than 30 minutes from where I live to use as referance!

And yes, this will be a FO vehicle with recoil!
