Product Description

Tiger with a crane instead of a main gun
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Berge Tiger used by the German army in World War II.

[About the actual car]
The Tiger I appeared on the front lines in 1942 and was the workhorse of German tank units, thanks to its powerful 88mm gun based on an anti-aircraft gun and armor that was up to 120mm thick.
Deployed to the 10th Tank Battalion, the Tiger I overwhelmed the Allied forces with its presence until the end of the war, including on the North African front, at the Battle of Kursk, and in Normandy.
The army produced many tank commanders who were called aces and destroyed more than 100 enemy tanks in tank battles.
There are not many variations, but one of them is the tank recovery vehicle type, the Berge Tiger.
A tank recovery vehicle based on the Panther tank, it has a crane attached to the turret, just like the Berge Panther.
The turret was left in place, but the main gun was removed and a crane was installed in its place.
It appears that the vehicle was not powerful enough to recover a tank, and was likely used for repair work on the battlefield, removing obstacles, or clearing mines.
There are no solid records of the production numbers.

[About the model]
This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Berge Tiger, a tank recovery vehicle of the Tiger I with its unique shape, in 1/35 scale.
The reproduction of the distinctive turret area features a mechanical finish that is not to be missed.
Cranes, winches, pulley wheels, hooks and other details are intricately depicted.
Of course, the car body is also reproduced in detail, from its shape to its details.
The engine deck and other details on the underside of the vehicle are sharply modeled, giving the vehicle a realistic feel.
The tracks come with a set of pre-assembled Magic Tracks and glue-on rubber track parts, which can be assembled using your choice of setup.
In addition, Zimmerit coating is also reproduced on the front and sides of the vehicle and the sides of the turret.
In addition, the upper engine parts are set in the engine compartment and can be seen through an opening and closing hatch.
This vehicle's unique shape is different from the powerful Tiger I and is not to be missed.
