Its development was based on the proven chassis of the Czechoslovak Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) tank, which allowed the Germans to maintain high production levels. The Hetzer was distinguished by its low profile, excellently sloped armor plates, and the effective 75 mm PaK 39 L\/48 gun, supported by an MG34 or MG 42 machine gun. It was widely used on both the Eastern and Western Fronts – for instance, it played an important role during the battles in Poland against the Red Army, as well as in the defense of the Third Reich in 1944-1945. After the war, Hetzer vehicles ended up in the Czechoslovak army, where under a new designation they remained in use for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Airfix 0353 model features a finely detailed shape – with realistic late-production details, including distinctive stepped armor elements of the upper hull and suspension details.
