Dragon 6489 15cm s.IG.33/2(Sf) auf Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer – 1/35 plastic model kit

The Dragon 6489 model is a faithful replica of the German 15cm s.IG.33/2(Sf) auf Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer self-propelled gun, designed for assembly in 1/35 scale for demanding military modelers. This unusual vehicle was based on the popular Hetzer chassis, also known as the Panzerjäger 38(t), onto which a 150 mm s.IG.33/2 howitzer was mounted, creating an effective infantry support weapon for the German army during World War II.

Brief historical overview

The prototype was developed in the late stages of World War II as a response to the Wehrmacht's need for mobile fire support. These guns were deployed mainly during battles on both the Eastern and Western fronts in 1944-1945. Their presence allowed German units to conduct more effective fire against fortified targets and enemy positions.
