1:16 Hetzer

Post by c.rainford73 »

I reach out to all the armour experts on our forum and hope that I can get some answers to my query....

I purchased a static hetzer from Blue Star Models. It was only $49.00us for the kit. Does anyone know details about this kit? I plan to rc it using some of the same gearboxes and electronics from 35RCtank.com.

It's a resin kit so I've my work cut out for me..

I saw some people touch on this kit in limited detail online. Apparently it came out in 2012-2013. Maybe I'm not looking in all the right places...Image

I've always wanted a hetzer so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Nice! Ludwigs and mk modellbau do some nice parts for it in rc.

Tracks, sprockets, road wheels etc.

Wow, what a bargain. The seller doesn't have another hetzer to sell at hat price?
