That's what I said! I would love a Hetzer, such an awesome machine. A Marder would be nice as well. I see they are moving away from the "molded on" tools and using separately applied parts. Very nice! I can't wait!

Looks very nice. My only criticism would be to go with the early style balkenkreuz (seen in the Polish campaign) rather than the standard sized balkenkreuz. Then again, its not the end of the world if they want to go with this insignia as its correct for the campaign in the west.
Going with the 38(t) also allows 21st to create a whole family of support vehicles at some later point, particularly SP guns. Smart move...

ok found it now....i had to poke around a bit. Looks nice. Surprising choice but a good one. That's the tank that won German all its early victories.

Pzkw 38(t) ausf G were in service in '43 in the WH in the East, and in other countries til the end of the war. So non-polish campaign crosses are fine.

Yeah ,.. that'd be decent ..........
Now could you just imagine this piece being done in 1:18th. scale ? *

Sheesh ! * ... Unbelievable !

Very cool.. and yes, though I'm happy for the wee people, 1:18 is a must..
Hopefully 21C is making some kind of master, and perhaps putting it into a computer, so they can go whatever scale later if they choose with less effort..

Nice model, I like it!

now we also have the chassis for this guy.
Aufklaerungspanzer 38(t)---Recce/Recon Panzer 38(t)
Btw, just a little FYI the "T" stands for Czech foreign design in German service. just like say the 4.5cm Pak 184(r) is the moniker for the captured russian 4.5cm Anti-Tank guns in German service.

That's just awesome

Its perfect timing for me - I'm currently slogging through a graduate history course focused on the history and tactics of the German Blitzkrieg campaigns in the west for my MA degree! Alot of work, but in a rare moment all the readings are great
Any idea of when we'll see this?
Further, its time we get some British and French armor of the period so our other 32x early-war German armored vehicles (Panzer IIID, Panzer IVD, Panzer 38T, SDK-222) have something to go up against
