Hetzer
The damaged rear left fender and toolbox
I added the casting number. I cut the numbers from the Tamiya sprue's label
I made one wheel damaged by an explosion
Damaged front fender
I decided to make the right rear fender heavily battered. To do this I glued on a few pieces of excess plastic.
I started carving the damages
The right fender is finished
The same right fender from another side
Left side wheels.
Right side wheels.
History: The two rear road wheels and the idler wheel on the right Hetzer's side were damaged by an explosion. The repairmen replaced the idler wheel and one road wheel with wheels modified for a later Hetzer (this Hetzer is early). One damaged wheel was left because the repair team didn't have enough wheels.
For this history, I rebuilt the road wheel - I cut off the bolts and replaced them with 16 rivets.
I made the new idler wheel with four holes from scratch. For this, I used a 0.3 mm plastic sheet. The difficulty was that each wheel disk of a new revision was shaped like a cone. Each disk I made from double layers of plastic.
The new wheels will be painted with red primer.

The crew broke the tow cable, so they tied a random ring to the other end of it...
