Esci/Ertl Hetzer: with Wargames Foundry Figure

Hetzer Model
I think out of all the Esci kits that were releases I think the Hetzer could be my favourite. It is very well detailed all over with a I particularly like the remote machine gun and the bino's and with the link length tracks this kit was miles ahead of the rest for the collector. I liked the Hetzer so much I built a second soon after.

Painting and Detailing
I decided to to this one in the ambush camo scheme illustrated on the box and did this with the 3 main humbrol colours (33, 94, 86) I then gave the kit a subtle wash with burnt umber then dry brushed with gray. A crew figure was added from the now out of production Wargames Foundry range.

CONCLUSION
I really like this kit and had a lot of full doing both versions of it and it is great to see it being re-released by Italieri of Italy I would definately recommend it to fellow modellers.

Sadly the Wargames Foundry range of 1/72 scale figures have long since disapeared from the small scale market

Many thanks to Ian Hanratty for taking the pics
