Not a Hetzer, this is the Hetzer (thanks to clerical confusion, someone misnamed the Jagdpanzer 38 as the Hetzer in a few documents but it wasn't official or even a troop nickname). Easy to see why as it is the same gun on a lightweight tank. From discussions with the late Tom Jentz who created Panzer Tracts with HLD (Hilary Louis Doyle).

I am curious if Takom has included the lubrication bolts on the final drive housings, escape hatch on hull floor, and weld beads on the road wheel rims added during the post-war manufacturing.

Quick look at the kit parts. The drive housing doesn't have the added bolts, there is no floor escape hatch and no welds on the road wheels. It does have three gun barrels, a plastic and a metal barrel for the StuK 40 with muzzle brake and a plastic one for the Pak 39/48 gun. The idler wheel is the 4 hole type vice the 8 hole type seen in some pictures. It looks like it is based off their Late Production JgPz 38(t) kit.Not a Hetzer, this is the Hetzer (thanks to clerical confusion, someone misnamed the Jagdpanzer 38 as the Hetzer in a few documents but it wasn't official or even a troop nickname).

Thanks for the update. If you weren't able to see the FB post, I can provide the details needed to make the G-13 variant.The drive housing doesn't have the added bolts, there is no floor escape hatch and no welds on the road wheels.

Thanks to @jknaus, I have this kit and have worked on it. I have LOTS of spare markings as I was sent decal sheets by Echelon Fine Transfers for my assistance in getting the sharkmouth schemes right. Let me know if interested in the spares so you have more options!Markings for 2 x US Army vehicles in South Vietnam 1969, 1 x ARVN vehicle 1972 and 1 x USMC vehicle at Fort Irwin 1980.

I have been doing a one man group build offline. So far, I only posted the subjects:
Patton my Face Dry in 'Nam
Pencils look interesting but i suspect they will need a good point so why do they never put a sharpener in pencil sets ?
how do they price up against other artist pencils out there?
