Best Quality Hetzer (1 Viewer)

[katana]

Three polystone Hetzer panzerjager's have been made to date in 60MM. The K&C, TCS and Thomas Gunn Hetzers all seem to be accurate models of the vehicle with interesting camouflage.
The question is which is the best! I think the Thomass Gunn Hetzer is the best model as the tracks and running gear are very nicely done and I consider the paint colors to be the most accurate of the three models. The only problem with the Thomas Gunn Hetzer is the lack of an open hatch in which to display a figure. A design decision not a defect; but quite curious for a Toy Soldier vehicle. A decision they also made with regard to their Puma; which I think limits the sales of both, as collectors like to display figures in their vehicles.

One of my favourites because I consider it so well done. I think the ambush pattern colours are right on. The detail is excellent and the weathering is good with bent metal and detailed tracks for a K&C model. I think it's a full 1:30 while I heard the TGM was a bit small for 1:30

It includes 2 good figures and a road sign.

Terry; I agree the K&C model is very nicely done. One of their best efforts IMHO. I have the TGM sitting next to the Figarti Jagdpanzer IV and the colors used are identical on both. I just cannot understand why TGM did not make it with an open hatch!
