Swiss Hetzer (G-13) toon tank at the Toblerone line

[dutik]

I have a soft spot for toon tanks and aircrafts, so I've built one more, placing it into a little diorama.

Under construction:

 

 

 

The body is a conversion made by Retrokit from Belgium for Mengs Pz. 38. I've added my own parts to finally convert it into a Swiss Hetzer - equipment box (a former bathroom cabinet from tabletop), armored sight (a headlight), spare track holders with spare track links for a 1/35 scale Hetzer, a new, better toolbox at the fender, larger muffler, a jack and tools leftover from another scale tank build, a spare wheel (which forced me to buy a second Hetzer kit...), some gizmos and a new frontlight. The MG is another set from Retrokit.

And finished: "At the toblerone line"

 

 

 

 

The Toblerone line is real. Nowadays it is a hiking trail in Switzerland, but in WW2 it was a formidable defense line towards Germany. It earned it's nickname - you gues it - from the shape of the dragon teeth constructed there. They really look like the famous Toblerone chocolate bars.

 

Enjoy!
