<strong>The</strong> Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer was another vehicle built on the chassis of the outdated Czech PanzerKampfwagen<br />

38(t), however, unlike the Marder III, this vehicle was small and low, with thicker armor, and a more powerful<br />

gun. Its design was new, although based on that of an experimental Romanian tank destroyer, and so effective<br />

that 2,584 were built in the last year of the war.<br />

Options: Schuerzen armor skirts.
