Italeri 0285 Sd.Kfz.179 BERGHEPANTHER in 1:35 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit designed for enthusiasts of military vehicle modelling from World War II. This model faithfully replicates, with remarkable attention to detail, the German recovery vehicle based on the chassis of the famous Panther tank – the Sd.Kfz.179 Bergepanther, produced from 1943.

The Bergepanther was designed as a heavy recovery vehicle to provide technical support for Wehrmacht armoured units. Its main task was to tow damaged or immobilized tanks from the battlefield, thanks to its robust construction and the specialized winches and cranes it was equipped with. It was most commonly seen on both the Eastern and Western fronts during major battles such as Normandy as well as in the battles across the Soviet Union. The vehicle was used mainly from 1943 to 1945, forming a key part of the technical support backbone of German armoured units.
