I am considering it, yes 🙂 I like that pattern on the Overloon Hetzer very much, maybe even more so than the ambush pattern.
As a side note for those that don't know: the Hetzer at Overloon is actually a post-war G-13 made to look like a Hetzer. As are most of the Hetzer in musea around the World, including the ones in Saumur, Munster, Sinsheim and the Bastogne War Museum. There are VERY few original Hetzers left.
Up until fairly recently the one in Overloon and Saumur used to have the tell-tale 4-holed idler wheel. So it was easy to identify as a G-13. They have since then replaced that 4-holed idler wheel with correct 8-holed ones.
