Almost. This is a photo of a 38t tank which is being produced this month by K&C.
The photo you are asking about is a Hertzer tank destroyer which is built on the 38t tank chassis and has no turret.

Tom ,
Thanks Terry for providing the image of the 38t...The Hetzer as Terry has explained was a tank destroyer the Germans designed using the 38t chassis...The 38t was a nice medium tank up until 1942 , when the Germans encountered the T34 & other heavier Soviet AFV's...That made the 38t obsolete , hence the production of the Hetzer & Flak gun carrier using the chassis of this medium tank...
We had a few threads & there was interest in this vehicle from collectors so Andy/K&C decided to go ahead & produce one due out this month...Those are the pic's terry has provided...
So is it the Hetzer or the 38t that you are going to have a go at creating ?!
Here is a pic of me next to a 38t in Germany...

The mobile gun is the one I am referring too....not the Tank.....the references I have on the mobile gun refer to it as the 38t Hetzer and I was sure I saw a Tank refereed to as a 38t....the pic you posted....maybe it was the track setup that is being refereed too ?....anyway it is the mobile gun I am interested in doing...eventfully....sorry for the confusion...should work out as roughly the same scale as the Stug.....nice pic...two good looking dude's....Tom
