Recovery vehicle (1 Viewer)

The Americans have one how about the Germans ?

Powered by a 12 cylinder Maybach HL 108 TUKRM engine, they had a loading capacity of 2.8 tons and a towing capacity of 18 tons. Crew was 8. 2000 of this version were produced.

Late in the war this chassis was used for an 88mm Flak 36 anti-aircraft mount. The cab and engine compartment were armored in the same fashion as the lighter 8t SdKfz 7/2. Only a few of these later versions were completed.A crew of 8 would be nice?

I'm sure it would sell if limited to say 500 units around $300.

I reckon it would sell better than the American one IMO

Nice lookng vehicle. I think $300 is too expensive. Despite what I said about the Recovery Vehicle, I think it's a great looking model (I saw one this week). It's just the cost that I think is the problem.

I agree, but I suspect it would cost more to make considering the extra rigging and detail required which is why I suggested a smaller quantity (say 500).

I think Figarti or KNC could do this item easily. They have the basic "chasis" already, especially Figarti.

It's German, so it'll outsell the Amreican M26, whcih according to several dealers I know has not been at great seller at retail.

It think it's a good move and it would sell near the $299 price point with four or five crew members.

Andy ( & Rick ) would love the add on potential.

BTW - love the model...

I think maybe $170.00 range?

I never got the impression that the HB Bergepanther was a hot seller despite the quality of the piece. They were/are priced at $245 so I would be surprised if people would pay $300 for this piece.

Personally I am very interested in vehicle recovery scenes as they are an integral part of combat operations.

It wasn't a hot seller despite being a very well made AFV. When it came out a few years ago $245 was a lot of money for a specialty vehicle and people were keyed in on the Jagdpanther, Sherman and Panther and cheaper K&C AFVs.. The offshoots like the Bergepanther, damaged Panther and a few smaller items (amphibious jeep, food wagon) are still available today. Try and find a Sherman or Jagdpanther!

Hi Guys,

I am beginning to think some of you guys must be PSYCHIC!!! Either that or you really do have a spy in K&C’s headquarters…

Yes, I admit it we are producing the Recovery Vehicle… It’s been “in the works for a wee while”… and there will be two (2) versions. Although a big vehicle it will be very affordable… I promise.

So, put some of your pennies aside for it… It’s on the way… More details nearer the time…

Best wishes and psychically yours,
Andy C.

From what Andy said my guess is the new German Recovery vehicle will be under $300
