Does anybody make any aftermarket stuff for the Tamiya Hetzer? I’m wondering about any interior or engine compartment detail sets. I know you wouldn’t be able to see much but if you made the top removable you could display your interior work.
Off hand I can’t name any, but you might try doing a search at any of the on-line websites such as Greatmodels.
This is partly Verlinden’s interior, but it took quite a bit of scratchbuilding to bring it into correct specs.
…with the engine installed…this is a separate kit, by the way…
I cut the roof out and opened up all the hatches to show it off…this is a command version, from DML.
This model was on the cover and the article in two parts, ran in Finescale Modeler, December 2008/January 2009, and is still available in back issues!
Here’s a link to the interior build to help you a bit more…

The Verlinden stuff is still available–try eBay if you can’t find it in stores! [:D]
Thanks doog but after looking at yours I don’t think I could do it justice. I’ll just button it up and hope for the best!!!
Aw, come on now–you can do your own version!? You don’t have to “compete” on these forums–just show us your best, and we’ll be here to advise you along the way, if you want?!
Give it a shot?! [:P]
Even if you don’t, make sure you posts some pics and show us the result!
I have the same set that Karl has. At first I was intimidated but then I realized I am building for my self so just go for it!! if your scared of something the best way to get over it is to just jump in and give it a go!!!
