Very cool tank, that's all I have to say...but it's a damn pain to go up against. haha!
This was the Panzer tank of the 12th SS Panzer Division, and the front nose of their Hetzer tank...also a pain to go up against. The Hetzer got us quite a few times D:
This one Panzer Replica based on the American M113 apc , the 5 road wheels are the original suspension , Motor , rear and return small wheels are part of the New Parts , Kampfgruppe Von Rybus of Colorado use this Replica in Reenactors Games , the "Hetzer" its really ex Swiss Army tank of post war made and service , many reenactors vehicles are only ex czech OT-810 Halftracks featuring Sdkfz251 and Swiss G-13 as Hetzer , This vehicle dont use marks of the 12ht SS Panzer Division or Hitler Jugend. U can see on youtube this Tank and other Replicas based on T-34 , T-55 and British Fv432 , The only True Panzers are on Museums like Samur , Kubinka , Patton Museum , Munster , Koblenza , Bovington and some private sites like Jacques Littlefield Collection. U can see Irina on Youtube , search Kurlandtiger , Germany unfinish Replica and some true Panzers in private hands , search surviving panzers videos , many of this tanks dont road 4 this reason exist this cheap replicas , sorry 4 my bad english.
As a retired tanker I can say without reservation that driving a tank cross-country is better than any amusement park ride; come to think of it shooting the main gun is a lot of fun too.
The tank in the picture appears to be a Panzer III H or J model with the L/60 50mm.
The Hetzer is not a tank it is more correctly referred to as a tank destroyer, it entered service in 1944. It is armed with an L/48 75mm cannon similar to the one mounted on the Pz IV g and it is based on the Czech t38 tank chassis. It was a very cost-effective weapons platform.

But thanks again for all the info! I always wanted to know more about what they were before they were fixed up to look the way they are now.
And it's no problem. I understand what you're saying.
