Bergepanther (1 Viewer)

I have both the summer and winter version and I think they are very well done. My only quibbles are the orangey brown HB used on their summer AFVs and the MG34 mounted where the the 2cm KwK should go. The latter issue is easily resolved by removing the MG and leaving the mount as this configuration can be found in pictures.

The 2 tonne crane was removable so one option is to leave it off. Most pictures of the vehicle do not show the crane. This was a recovery vehicle so its primary tools were the 40 tonne (doubled to 80 tonne with a pully) winch and spade. The large wood beam was chained to the front of the vehicle when pushing was necessary.

Oh? Nice to know. I am going to check on the gun too.
 
Here is an early sketch of the vehicle

Here is an early version of the vehiicle with the mount for the 2cm KwK. Note the jib boom crane stowed on the right side.

I have one on the way thanks for the help from the members that recommended where to look. Is that K&C figure in the picture or is that the one that comes with the AFV.
 
It`s K&C`s WS102 kubelwagen officer. The other figure in winter dressing is the one from HB that comes with the vehicle.
