Hey Pickelhaube I'll go with the Hetzer. Panzer IV variants are cool but the Hetzer...
...we don't have that in 1:18, thats what I'm going with. :salute:

Hetzer all the way :D

Like Normandy said, we don’t have one of those in 1/18 scale and it’s a neat little tank hunter that saw a much greater production number and use than the Ostwind ever did.

Plus it will look cool in a variety of ambush scenes and setups, much like my little 1/30 scale vignette with the Thomas Gunn Miniatures Hetzer and SS troops 8)

dears....,

as I got already the Hetzer (from a chinese 3D printer) in 1:18 and are awaiting in addition the SIG 332 (Sf) auf Jagdpanzer 38(t) (which is also based on the Hetzer ..and for sure 3D printed and....1:18 !!)

I would, for me,..prefere the Ostwind

....and if I would be able to understand, how fotos can easy be loaded on this forum (as I dont use instagram, facebook or others...just building models)...I could show them...

I will be doing both.
If I think I am right I have seen that 3d printed Hetzer.
It looks to be off in several ways but it is out there.
