Tamiya 1/35 Hetzer. Photos by Brett Green
Tamiya 1/35 Hetzer. This is a vehicle from 1./Gebirgs-Panzerjager-Abteilung 95, 3 Geberirgsdivision, Tatra Mountains, Czechoslovakia, Jan ’45.
This was my first attempt at the hairspray method of weathering. I wasn’t 100% sure what I was doing but the result was OK.
The VOYAGERMODEL P/E detail set was used on this model.
The detail on the kit’s MG 34 is beautiful.
The kit’s plastic grab-handles were replaced with brass wire bent to shape.

Wing Commander Ratten was credited with 2 kills, 2 shared, 1 probable and 2 damaged before being killed in action in Feb ’45.

Tamiya 1/35 Marder III Ausf.M Photos by Brett Green. This was a commission build I did in ’09 .
Major components complete and waiting for paint before final assembly. Aber’s remarkable P/E set and turned aluminium barrel with brass muzzle brake were used on this model.
This close-up shows some of the photo etch detail to which I also added some extra wiring and the canvas ammunition rack covers made from tissue paper socked in white glue.
This vehicle was photographed after its surrender at Armsfoot in May ’45.
Tamiya’s turned brass 7.5 cm projectile set was added to the ammo racks.

From the Vault
These are some early analogue shots of 1/48 Focke Wulfs taken by Brett Green back in the 90s. All these models were commission jobs, accept for the Trimaster D-9 ‘blue 1’, which is the second, and last, D-9 from this manufacturer that I ever built for myself. The Ta 152 C was the first collaboration build by Brett and me. We split the fee 50/50.
