The camouflage schema is based on the article published in HPM
3/95 magazine.
All marking is hand painted.
The
model represents one of the vehicles used by Czech resistance
forces.
They
used a few new but not completed Hetzers. The camouflage of these
vehicles was changing day by day because of adding new and new slogans
atc. I have chosen the vehicle in camouflage I prefer.
I
used older ESCI kit as the base for this model. The kit is not exactly
same type as the variant produced in Prague factories in the spring
1945. The differences are the shape of exhaust and the rear chassis
wheels.
I
have tried modified the exhaust but the rear wheels are not modified. I
do hope the accurate modelers will forgive this incorrect point but it
was aver my experience and the taste to modify also wheels.
I enjoy building of ESCI
kits very much and I’m unhappy because of their shortage on the
market.
Let me to thank all courageous people who used these not completed vehicles
to fight against much better equipped German forces!
