ICM 35360 Bergepanther with Pz.Kpfw.IV Turret 1/35 – Plastic Model Kit

The ICM 35360 model depicts a historically unique vehicle – the armored recovery and command vehicle Bergepanther with Pz.Kpfw.IV turret in 1/35 scale. This extremely interesting kit reproduces a unique German tank modification from World War II, of which likely only a single example was made for the 653rd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion of the Wehrmacht – Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653.

The base for this model is the well-known and renowned Pz.Kpfw.V Panther tank, considered one of the most advanced armored vehicles of its era due to its combination of excellent armor, high mobility, and effective armament. The Sd.Kfz. 179 Bergepanther was used for technical and recovery tasks, but a unique conversion completed in 1944 in Ukraine transformed it into a command vehicle. Instead of a gun, a fake cannon and additional radio equipment were installed inside, creating space to lead armored units in combat operations.
