A symbol of captured weapons and hope The Jagdpanzer 38(t) was a German tank destroyer based on the LT vz. 38 chassis, designed in 1943 and produced from April 1944. In modern literature, it is popularly called Hetzer ("Instigator"), although this was not the official name, nevertheless, it was very often used during World War II. It was characterized by its low profile, sloped armour, and simple and inexpensive design, making it an effective defensive weapon. Despite its technical limitations, it quickly gained a reputation as a formidable vehicle, used, among others, on the Eastern Front. "Chwat" is a Hetzer captured on August 2, 1944, by the Warsaw insurgents during the fighting for the Main Post Office. The vehicle, belonging to the German 743rd Tank Destroyer Battalion, was damaged and initially incorporated into a barricade, and then repaired. Although it was not used in combat, it became a symbol of captured weapons and hope. After the war, it ended up in the Polish Army Museum, but in 1950 it was scrapped on the orders of the then communist authorities. • A tank destroyer in a captured version – the set depicts a model of the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer captured by the Warsaw insurgents. Movable tracks allow for realistic movement of the vehicle, and the mounted MG 34 machine gun emphasizes its combat character. • Double markings - the model has faithfully reproduced painting and double symbols to be placed on the armour: insurgent or German. You decide which version will be part of your collection or diorama. • Detailed interior – not only the armour and markings, but also the interior of the tank has been reproduced with historical accuracy. A removable section of the armour allows you to look inside the vehicle and admire both the engine compartment and the meticulously reproduced crew compartment.
