Hetzer MG?

Post by 7rounds » Thu Apr 16, 2009 8:32 am

Just opened up my Wal-mart clearance 21st century Hetzer and it doesn't have the remote MG and shield. They show it on the box but no sign of it inside. Also the muffler is different from the box photo. It's 213 with a 3 tone camo, slightly weathered.

Sorry, but the pic is a lie - the Hetzers didn't come with the MG.

How lame is that?

Nice model and all but I was disappointed that there was no remote MG they really made a mistake with that one. :(

Thanks for the replies. I guess every one got burned on this one.

It is possible to customize your own. All you need is an FOV MG-42 (they came in some accessory sets and with some figures) a couple pieces of thin plastic for the shield, something to mount the gun on, and paint.

a MG34 is more correct than a MG42.

Timthegreat is right, just make your own.

The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.
