The kit proposed by Revell company includes a plastic model kit of German technical vehcle in 1:35 scale.
With an appearance new German tanks, it was noted that the available evacuation vehicles did not have sufficient capacity to handle their tasks. So the decision was made to rebuild Panter for ARV (Armored Recovery Vehicle). The tower was abandoned, and a transport platform, a crane, and winch appeared. A new, more powerful transmission was also fitted. Additional steel equipment included steel towing tubes, wooden beams mounted on the hulls while pushing damaged tanks, and replacement spare parts. For improved defense, some of the units were equipped with machine guns or other weapons. The Bergepanther was capable of towing the heaviest German tanks, the Panther, the Tigers and the King Tigers.
The Revell kit allows building the model of the German Bergepanther evacuation tank. In the box, there are 10 frames with vehicle elements and decals (they allow the reconstruction of the 505th Heavy Tank Battalion or 654th Tank Destroyers Battalion).
Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
