After the Second World War Switzerland purchased 158 modified Hetzers, known as the G13 in Switzerland. This is a remix of SSBN506's Hetzer, itself based on a Bergman model. Changes include:
-a muzzle break, borrowed from TigerAce1945's Panzer IV pack
-a new redesigned engine deck and exhaust (G13s had a diesel installed in 1945)
-new stowage, including wheels and tracks extracted from SSBN506's model and a new box.
-removed turret MG and rebuilt hatch
-a new sight, which for some really annoying reason printed fine in 1/144 but not in 1/72
-new headlight
-new telephone box on the rear
-gun and mantelet lowered down (I think it was too high on the original)
Likely some other details I've forgotten, but it is still a variation on work done by others. There's 4 versions of the file, a .3mf in 1/100 and .stls in 1/285, 1/144 and 1/72. The Bergman heritage is clear as it prints fine in all 3 scales, although a thicker gun barrel would be useful for microarmour gaming.
