The new winter Hetzer is awesome! (1 Viewer)

[tmanthegreat]

I received the new TGM winter Hetzer model (ACCPACK080C) this week and I’m really happy with it! The paint work is excellent as are the details. I’ve got mine displayed in a little vignette with some K&C German figures and some JG Miniatures winter foliage, but also tried an alternate setup with some War Park Germans. The WP figures seem to scale better, but I rather like the K&C ones in my setup. In any event, the TGM Hetzer is awesome and I’ll definitely be getting the new summer camouflage version when available

Setup with the War Park figures

Powerful little tank that became available late in the war and proved to be a winner with the troops and also cost effective as materials dried up. Neat vignette. Robin.

Does the hatch close on the new Hetzer?

I have two of the original TGM Hetzers. I like the tanks, but felt the MG34 or 42 was too small. Look like the new ones have the same smallness.

They were all MG34s, remote control and sizes were

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Overall Length of Handlebars:- 23"
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Overall Length of Periscope:- 14.5"

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]It does looks small, but i thought on the actual Hetzers they looked small and the scale look about right.

I have watched The Chieftain's videos on the Hetzer and overall i don't think it was a great vehicle to fight in,

Was in the process of doing a report on the Hetzer on another forum.

Interested in your comments on size of the new MG so quickly put the following together:

New TGM Hetzer MG against original winter and it is larger

Middle MG is from FL White 1/2 track so getting to FL size

New TGM MG against FL Winter Tiger MG

Hope this assist

If interested the new Hetzer is slightly longer than the three originals, the gun is not as long and is fixed in position where as the originals had some movement

Originals had closed hatches new one is fixed open would have been a better model if hatch could also be closed makes for more options when in displays

I some ways the older sets have a little more detail

Looking good. Thanks for sharing the comparison picture, Mark. You have an amazing collection.
Tman, your dio looks great. You will always be the master of the frame scenes.

Another great model from TGM, I have their earlier Hetzer in Normandy colors, not sure I'll buy a redo at this stage. That said, I would like to see a new Normandy Mark IV as I missed buying the earlier releases.
