Norman Busch's experience with the mountains of Arsenal Hetzer M:
a short time in advance: this was my first model, which consisted entirely of Resin . It was certainly not my last this Art, doch was mich dieser Bau anfänglich an Schweiß und Ausdauer gekostet hat ... Junge! Junge!! Junge!!!

Wie eingangs erwähnt, bestehen sämtliche Teile dieses Bausatzes aus Resin in olivgrüner Farbe, die einzeln verpackt in kleine Plastikbeutel daher kommen. Eine Bauanleitung in schwarz-weiß liegt ebenfalls bei. Die Anleitung enthält eine Übersicht über alle benötigten, bzw. für diesen Bausatz nicht benötigten Teile. Da diese Anleitung jedoch nicht nur in s/w sondern zusätzlich auch noch sehr dunkel gehalten wurde (möglicherweise eine ausgelutschte Kopie einer Kopie einer Kopie ...), kann man nach dem Abgleich auf Vorhandensein der Bauteile, diese getrost dem Altpapier zuführen. Welche Teile wo zu montieren sind, erklärt sich nach einmaliger Durchsicht, sowie menschlicher Logik fast von alleine.

Der Rumpf, Ober - und Unterwanne, sind aus einem Stück gegossen und bedürfen, speziell an den Stellen des Heck, kurz über den Schmutzfängern, einiges an Nacharbeit. Ansonsten gibt es an diesem "Klotz" nichts zu bemängeln. Nieten und andere Details, wie z.B. Klappen und Blechstöße, sind für diesen kleinen Maßstab sehr gut nachgebildet. Angussstellen o.ä. findet man keine.
Anders schaut es da bei den Laufwerken aus. Diese Teile, die aus Kette, Leit- und Treibrad, and pass the four big wheels are cast in one piece. It also is nothing more reprehensible. However, here the Angus block is very wide at the top of the chain. From a clean-cutting and requires some skill and foresight.

All other parts - with the exception of the side skirts - can be after the separation of its ingot and corresponding rework process wonderful. Just before mounting the huge Erdspron which later adorn the rear of the mountains Hetzer, should be a little preliminary work done for the purpose of future stability. Both on the spur forks, as well as the instigators were small holes drilled and short Stücke Draht (D=0,5mm) eingeklebt. So präpariert lassen sich beide Teile wunderbar mit einander verbinden, ohne ein Abbrechen bei möglicher Handhabung befürchten zu müssen. Zudem bietet diese Verbindung auch ein gewisses Maß an Flexibilität, was bei der Montage der Seilwinde und des S-Hakens nicht ganz unvorteilhaft ist. Der Erdsporn sollte allerdings vor der Montage am Modell separat bemalt und gealtert werden.

Since the skirts not only get too thin, but that also stopped at all the brackets were manufactured these parts short hand completely ourselves. I served as the starting material 0.15 mm thick embossed sheet of aluminum. With just over two hours and endurance were said parts cut from the sheet, folded and glued to the model.

The pattern which, while getting used to, but nonetheless a marked change from the yellow-brown Green offers standard, is a mountain Hetzer of 1945 because of an unknown tank destroyer division. After a general primer in a light gray base coat was applied in Beige 314 of Revell Aqua Color. The camouflage pattern was with Vanilla 4500 of Luke, the orange-brown with Revel Aqua Color shown 85th After appropriate drying of inks, color was all stock, this time with very dilute paint containing 87 (Revell Aqua Color) glossed over. Decals on this time could be eliminated completely, since all of this predestined places packed with attachment (crane, wooden beams, etc.) were blocked. Latter, I've made in one piece 2x2mm spruce wood from the craft store.
The tarpaulin, with which the tank interior was protected from the weather, etc., was with a mixture of gray tank 78 (Revell Aqua Color) and Lukas'Vanilla 4500, and a small drop Earth color 87 (Revell Aqua Color) painted. Was then dry brushed with Codex Grex (Citadel).
Conclusion: Although some components has could drive you here in the sheer madness to me to build this model a lot of fun and pleasure. And with the camouflage paint scheme and a corresponding emphasis is dirt after a good 1 1 / 2 weeks of construction is another, not quite an everyday model in the domestic tank cabinet.
