The JagdPanzer [JgPz] namely tank hunter belongs to the wide category of tanks know as Tank Destroyer.
These tanks show a sharp silhouette, quite often the gun is almost fixed with a limited degrees of maneuverability.
The 38(t) HETZER or Sd.Kfz 138/2 is one of the most notorious Light Tank Destroyer of the WW II.
Details of the Model kit are very good. All hatches come as single components.The trucks need to be assembled and cemented on the wheels. There is a metal grid too. The kit comes with tow crew members with a very good level of details.
