Kfz. 138/2 Hetzer in 1:35 scale is a precision set of dedicated photo-etched parts by Aber, designed specifically to enhance models of the Sd.Kfz. 138/2 Hetzer vehicle. This product belongs to the category of high-quality modelling accessories intended for plastic model kits. The set is an indispensable support for modelers seeking maximum realism and historical accuracy in building the German tank destroyer from World War II.

Hetzer, or Sd.Kfz. 138/2, was a German light tank destroyer based on the chassis of the Czechoslovakian self-propelled armoured gun Panzer 38(t). The Hetzer entered service in 1944 and was used by the Wehrmacht mainly on both the Eastern and Western fronts until the end of World War II. It was renowned for its low silhouette, good armor, and powerful 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48 gun, which made it a formidable opponent for the Allies both during the Ardennes offensive and the defense of Berlin.
