Hetzer

The damaged rear left fender and toolbox 

I added the casting number. I cut the numbers from the Tamiya sprue's label 

I made one wheel damaged by an explosion

I decided to make the right rear fender heavily battered. To do this I glued on a few pieces of excess plastic. 

I started carving the damages

History: The two rear road wheels and the idler wheel on the right Hetzer's side were damaged by an explosion. The repairmen replaced the idler wheel and one road wheel with wheels modified for a later Hetzer (this Hetzer is early). One damaged wheel was left because the repair team didn't have enough wheels.
For this history, I rebuilt the road wheel - I cut off the bolts and replaced them with 16 rivets.
I made the new idler wheel with four holes from scratch. For this, I used a 0.3 mm plastic sheet. The difficulty was that each wheel disk of a new revision was shaped like a cone. Each disk I made from double layers of plastic.
The new wheels will be painted with red primer. 

The crew broke the tow cable, so they tied a random ring to the other end of it... 

Tracks 

Somehow the crew managed to wreck the solid oak jack block, which had been reinforced with metal bands... 

Loops from 0.2 mm copper wire to secure the tarp; they were glued from the inside using CA glue. I added the remaining skirt bracket mounting points along the hull sides, with protruding bolts made from 0.4 mm steel wire, as well as a few damaged and bent brackets (this Hetzer will be depicted as heavily battered, without the side skirts, which were lost).
I made holders for the spare antennas from syringe needles—two on the board and two near the convoy light, using smaller needles.
