Trumpeter 1:35 - PAK. 43 88mm Waffentrager (Krupp/ Ardelt) - Plastic model kit #01587
The Pak. 43 (Panzerjägerkanone 43, 'tank hunters gun') was a German 88 mm anti-tank gun designed by the Krupp company during World War II. The number 43 refers to 1943, the year when the first prototype was produced. With a maximum range of up to 16 km, the Pak. 43 was considered the most powerful anti-tank gun of the German Army. It could penetrate the armour of the Soviet JS-2 and other Allied tanks. The anti-tank gun remained in service till 1945 and was one of the most mass-produced cannons of the period.
The Pak. 43 and its modifications were also used on several German tank destroyers. One of those was the Waffentrager 88mm PAK-43 manufactured by the Ardelt company and based on the Checkoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis.

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.
