Product: 1/35 Bergepanther m.Pz.Kpfw.IV Turm
The Panther was one of the most important tanks used by Germany during
WWII. It was also converted into an armored recovery vehicle known as
the Bergepanther. The Bergepanther was actually transformed into one
other unusual vehicle when a Panzer IV Ausf.H turret was added to an
early Bergepanther hull to create a command tank. This was a one-off
conversion performed by the heavy tank destroyer battalion s.Pz.Abt.653,
and the resulting vehicle was called the Bergepanther mit Aufgesetztem
Pz.Kpfw.IV Turm Als Befehlpanzer. It had a fixed turret and dummy gun,
with the extra space inside the turret used for radios and map boards.
The vehicle was used in the Ukraine on the Eastern Front in 1944 alongside the battalion’s Elefant tank destroyers.
Dragon has created a 1/35 scale kit of the phenomenally named
Bergepanther mit Aufgesetztem Pz.Kpfw.IV Turm Als Befehlpanzer. As one
would expect, the kit utilizes principal components from previously
issued Panther and Panzer IV kits. These have extremely high standards,
so the main parts come with a fine pedigree. Customers can thus look
forward to an accurate, easy-to-build kit thanks to Dragon’s smart
engineering processes. For example, the track links are made from DS
plastic for simple assembly, plus there a number of photo-etched parts
such as the engine deck grills. This unique command tank from
s.Pz.Abt.653 does have a most distinctive look, so modelers can now
expand their 1/35 scale Panther (or should that be Panzer IV?) families.
