Yeah I noticed your giant haul!

I would sure like to find some of the older armor, especially the whirblewind and Stug IV.

Want one of those. I hope I find one.
The camo scheme looks a lot like the Desert Storm uniforms pattern, only 60 years or so earlier.
Smart those Germans.

Nice find Rows! I have been waiting to get my claws on one of these. Instead I have had to keep buying up all the S1s on clearance! Now, if I can find the time to repaint some of them...

Yeah, every once in awhile the 1:32 gods smile upon you.

Makes up for the heartbreak at Target. There were only two of them on the shelf at TRU and the other one had a warped gun barrel so I was double lucky. As I said, I really dig this scheme, I think my s1 Hetzer is going to get repainted.

Your right, looks a lot like the pre-digital desert camo. Kinda like how the new Marine digi camo looks a bit like the WWII Pacific gear. Or maybe it's just me.

I found some of those at Wal Mart in a neighboring town back before the holidays, discounted to $9. Four just showed up at one of my local stores for the same price. I agree, it is superior to the first scheme and really a cool paint scheme

Would you like salt and pepper with your Hetzer sir..?? Sorry guys, but I'm not particularly fond of this scheme. They had a stack of about a dozen of em' at a local TRU a couple months back, and I picked one up just because... Well.... I dunno, just because... I may be in the minority here but I prefer the S1.

The S1 scheme for the Hetzer is still pretty good as well, especially as 21c German cammo patterns on 32x tanks go. (Think of the Panzer IVHs or the S1 Brumbar for really bad examples

)

Yes, I agree. Some of those were pretty horrible.

[+] S-2 Hetzer scheme ?

I think the S1 is far superior than the S2.

I just don't dig the S1, accurate or not. To each their own.
