Sold Out
Initially the Panzer Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. E/F was a Czech tank designed before WW2. Its military designation was LT vz. 38 (Lehký tank vzor 38, Light Tank model 38). When Germany took over Czechoslovakia, the tank was adopted by the German Army and saw service in Poland, France and Russia. The (t) stands for 'tschechisch', the German word for Czech.
Panzer Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. E/F had a 3.7cm main gun and a 125hp engine allowing it to move at 42km/h. Over 1400 tanks were manufactured, until in 1942 production ended due to inadequate armament. The chassis continued to be produced for the Marder III, and some of the tank's components were used in the later Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyers, turretless assault guns, as well as anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns.

Throughout WWII German troops managed to capture a number of Soviet tanks including the T-34, renamed as Panzerkampfwagen T-34 747(r) in German service and modified according to the requirements of the Wehrmacht. Equipped with radio and a German commander's cupola, T-34 747(r) tanks were also marked with a Balkenkreuz or a swastika in order to differentiate them from Soviet T-34's.

Academy 1:35 - German Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer (Early production version) - Plastic model kit #13278
The Jagdpanzer 38 (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), later known as the Hetzer ("pursuer/hunter"), was a German light tank destroyer, based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis, inspired by the Romanian "Mareşal" tank destroyer.
The Jagdpanzer 38 was a common late-war German tank destroyer. It was produced in relatively large numbers and was for the most part mechanically reliable. The tank first entered service in July 1944. Armed with the 7.5cm PaK 39 L48 main gun with limited traverse and featured sloped armour on its very low profile. An MG34 was mounted to the vehicle roof. It was well liked by crews, fairly reliable and concealable. Drawbacks were that it was very cramped inside the tank, had limited ammo and very thin armour. It was first used in the field in July of 1944 and would go on to serve on both fronts. Approximately 2,800 were built. The name Hetzer was unofficial and used by German troops in the field, then adopted by post war publications.
Due to the large number produced, the Jagdpanzer 38 is probably the most abundant WWII German tank destroyer remaining today.
