This Hetzer was originally started by Grant but he retired from the hobby and it ended up in my garage. It had the lower hull mostly complete (Motors, drive train, boogies and tracks) but no electronics, marker, batteries, R/C, etc, etc. The upper hull was in pieces.
Grant had done a truly outstanding job on the lower hull. The workmanship is simply beautiful.

So after adding a quick motor controller (MAG with Anvilus Mini Relay) some r/c, and a marker and some basic safety gear, it was off to the testing ground.

After adding the electronics, a marker, and finishing off the upper hull. It was time for paint. I went with a modified desert camo. Not really 1944 Hetzer but then neither is the tank commander.
