A Swiss Hetzer in the making. Dunno if you know, but Swiss aqquired from Czech post-war some hundred Hetzters built to their specifications. The Hetzters served as antitank artillery for the light infantry units. Lets start with the basics: The kits.
Lower left the M2 HMG, upper right the conversion set.
And here is the base at the lower right. Not to forget a number of other toon tanks waiting to get built up.
The conversion work is easy: You have to cut off a little bit from the lower hull of the styrene kit, guided by the instructions. Then fit the upper (resin) hull, add a bow- and a rear plate, some putty to close a few seams and we are mostly done. Well, the most troublesome aspect is to cut off the resin parts from the pur plugs. Location is not the best, along the edge of the parts, but on the other hand also could have been worser.
I have added a stowage box (from a tabletop bathroom set, it’s a cabinet 
), a scratchbuilt tool box and exhaust and another optic on top (a former tank headlight) as well as some german tank tools (1/35 scale) at the rear fender from the spare parts box.

That’s it so far. Enjoy!
