One of the items I picked up at the Chicago show was a slightly damaged Bergepanther which was a wonderful find.

Members of a recovery unit begin the work of getting a precious Tiger back into action in the East in the summer of 1944.

Great photos.

Its missing the "Arm" (if thats what you call it see pic)

Wayne is correct! the primary damage was the 2-tonne jib crane was broken off and missing. This is not a problem at all since in reality the crane was removable and there are a lot more pictures without it mounted than with it. Aside from that it has a few nicks and scrapes.

Great work Frank. I have 2 HB Bergpanthers myself. Sooner or later though, all the Tigers end up here . . .

Brilliant pics and, a great find. I know its subjective but, for me they still are the nicest AFV's that have been produced and the pics only further show this

Wow, GREAT pics. I only wish I'd have grabbed one of those HB Bergepanthers when I had the chance ('he who hesitates is lost'). I agree with Mitch, my HB winter panther is my favorite AFV.

I think there may still be one or two in Canada. I thought I saw one recently from a dealer for $225?

Great picture of the wrecking arm. Now I can make one. I got one last year that was missing the same piece. I have been holding off for lack of a good picture showing all the detail.{sm3}

Such a great set. Since I limit my WWII collection to Bulge/winter series, I sure they had a winter version listed.
Thanks much for the assist though !
