Hetzer 38t early version

Here is my Academy 1/35 Hetzer 38t, early version.I started this
a while ago and have not gotten far. I will work on
this and the Mercury capsule in tandem. I am thinking of keeping
the paint job easy, KISS, overall gelbbraun, a "dirty yellow". Then
do some intense weathering, maybe.---John

ive always like academy armour kits, great value

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I'm liking the Dark Side more and more.

We don't see many tank destroyers built, so this will make a nice change.

John..... from early 1943, all German tanks were delivered to their units, painted in drab sand type colour (Tamiya XF-60 is a pretty good match IMO) so you are not far off with your colour choice.

Of course, most units added their own cam afterwards.
