Hetzer was the name attributed to the E10. Skoda mixed the names up and used the Hetzer name for the paperwork for its "hetzer" for a brief period. By then, the name had stuck and had been adopted by the troops. Hetzer was never the official name for the "hetzer" line of vehicles. Post-war historians sort of ran with the name as the official name. Kind of a neat little background story. I tend to refer to them as Hetzers as well...but I won't call a M113 a Gavin.

Guy, Des I shall join you both as I am always thirsty too ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Well I have knocked up a basic engine bay for the Bergepanzer ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . I shall add a couple of other bits, but won't over do it as most will not be seen later ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) . Even with open hatches it's pretty confined in there ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4683/39530026492_b8e063e3c5_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4732/24692058757_ef3b7a537f_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4690/24692056957_157ab2069b_c.jpg) More tomoz muckers ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) , ACW.
