[+] Hetzer Release due out Anytime Now

Rowsdower · Post by **Rowsdower** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 7:07 pm

No Hetzers or Marder IIIM's in my AO. No P-51D's or the new FW 190's either. Tons of Panzer 38's but they are selling quickly, so at least that is one positive sign.

I found the Hetzer and ..... the Hetzer was already being hijacked by some other guy..

Presumably this was at a TRU...??? I'll be checking out my "old reliable" TRU tomorrow, this particular store has come through with about 3 out of the last 4 new 32X releases, so I"m hopeful the Hetzer will be on the shelf there shortly.

I saw one Jagdtiger. ONE. I regret not buying it, but I had to buy a Marder instead. Which, I regret, because the exact opposite of what I planned for happened.

Frickin' overload, man. Need a Jagdtiger. Would love to see anything new...

I've been so deprived that I predict it will all come in a huge wave, and I'll get that really dumb urge to buy it all then, because I always imagine next week it won't be there. It's happened before. I can never let it happen again. I left a 109F once, and got two others. Came back the next day and it was gone. Heh, never saw that one again.

VMF, I have two words to describe an appropriate course of action at times like these: sleeper hold.

Just don't do it in front of his wife and kids!

Nope WM

Consider yourself extremely fortunate if you are finding anything new at Walmart, all the WM stores around here (and there are a bunch) are basically dead...finito...

The E-10 was going to be part of a new series of German armoured fighting vehicles with standardized parts. They enlarged the 38(t) chassis but it does not look like much else would have been the same - new engine, running gear, etc. Not really a variant so much as the Hetzer's successor.

There are now several Hetzers listed on evilbay. It is time to start really checking the shelves for these little devils.

These are being offered thru dealers on Ebay.. I haven't seen an individual selling one yet, so they probably aren't on shelves yet..

I have seen one at WM.

Badcat has sent me a shipping message, so I will have one in a couple days

From the pictures, it looks very nice!

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 8:40 pm

Got the Hetzer today

Like all the other vehicles in the Panzer 38/Marder series, it looks fantastic. The commander and loader's hatches open, the gun elevates and has a little bit of traverse. It has the stowage glued on the outside. One really neat little detail that I like are all the hand-grips. The paintscheme and subtle weathering are nice as well. To settle any questions, the figure is an FOV German tanker that came with my FOV Jagdpanther. You all are going to like the Hetzer

Dammit I want that Hetzer and Marder IIM already! I have the Marder III and the 38T but 21st says that I must COLLECT THEM ALL!!!!

[+] > That's really neat "tman" *

* I cannot wait to get one now. *

* I will be patient however & wait till they show up @ WAL* MART first. *

Great pics Tristan. Thanks for posting them.

olifant · Post by **olifant** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 12:23 am

Once again, thanks for taking the time to photograph these and post the pics!

These things look great! My only question is why is there a telephone pole mounted on the Hetzer? You can clearly see it in the second photo?

In all seriousness, 21C should take a hint from FOV and use wire for this. Being in plastics, I can assure you it would be cheaper for them.

Now, back to the love fest. This looks great and I must get one or ten of them.

AlloySkull · Post by **AlloySkull** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 1:07 am

I'm going to mod all of my 21st armor from telephone pole to wire in a hole!

Rowsdower · Post by **Rowsdower** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 7:36 am

Man didn't the Krauts have wireless tank to tank coms by then??

Did they have a special panzer just to carry the giant spools of telephone cable?:lol:

I'll be removing that right out of the box just like I did with the Panzer and Marder.

Jagdpanther · Post by **Jagdpanther** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 7:51 am

Thanks for the pics T Man! Hope to get mine maybe this week.

I agree with Mg-42 "improvise & adapt" this is the only way to survive in this hobby rather it be 1/18 or 1/32.
