Default RE: 1/16th HETZER PROJECT

Moonshadow5739,
My hats off to you for taking on this project. I too was going to attempt the Hetzer until I learned of several other builders doing the same. I think I'll opted to do an early Stug III (B, C or D - still acquiring references) with it's low profile "turtle shell" appearance and short L24 75mm gun. I'll watch this and Big Fiver's threads with great interest. Although I think because of the shape the early Stug would be more difficult to mold and cast successfully.

Once you get the masters done, I'll bet you'll find quite a few interested parties that would be willing to pay for a decent resin kit. At least enough to recoup your initial outlay for molding and casting materials.

Best of luck!
