Product Description
- A unique prototype vehicle!!
[About the actual car]
- During WWII, the German army developed and deployed a light tank destroyer, the Hetzer, using components from the Czech 38(t) tank.
- It has been produced and used since 1944, and several variations have been made. One of them is the Type 38 reconnaissance tank, a tank for reconnaissance.
- It was built using the body of an open-top tank recovery vehicle and was armed with a 7.5 cm K51 gun.
- A prototype was built by Auto Union for use on the Eastern Front, and was later taken over by the Czech company BMM, who completed it in September 1944.
- Tests were carried out but the prototype never made it into mass production.
[About the model]
- This kit is a detailed 1/35 scale assembly kit of the Type 38 reconnaissance tank equipped with a 7.5cm K51 gun based on the Hetzer chassis.
- The open-top fighting compartment features a dedicated upper part that faithfully recreates the unique shape of the vehicle.
- The front of the vehicle is equipped with a storage box, driver's vision port, and headlights. Cases that can be attached to the side armor of the vehicle also enhance the realism of the finish.
- Of course, the 24-caliber 7.5cm K51 gun that stands out in the open-top fighting compartment is mechanically detailed down to the gun barrel and gun carriage. You can enjoy the condensed reproduction.
- Etched parts are also available for the exhaust pipes at the rear of the vehicle. They add a nice touch to the rear view.

- In addition, this kit also includes four bonus tank crew figures to further enhance the realistic feel of the open-top fighting compartment.
