 Subject:  Aber PE kitList thread.  
  
 Date:  Oct 13, 2007
 From:  Paul A. Owen 
That Aber photo-etched kit I sent is intended for the "late" Hetzer. I think for Dragon's kit. So there will be a lot of parts not suitable for this particular model. The side skirts and mesh for the engine vent will be most useful. Maybe the little tie downs that run along the top.

The MG assembly is pretty nice too, but tricky to assemble.

The "D" rings are for the Hetzer Starr, I can't remeber offhand if they were also fitted to very later Hetzers. The later driver's periscopes are also not fitted to this model, so just use the Tamiya part as-is, but add some Krystal Kleer when done to simulate the glass.

Paul.
