I have wanted to make a Berge Panzer for some
time and decided on a Panzer III. Why a Panzer III,
well I had a spare FOW Panzer III that never got
built for Early War so it was ideal. Most 15mm
manufacturers already make a Bergepanzer but I
wanted to scratch build one myself.
Its was actually a straight forward build. All I
had to do was build a plasticard box to sit on the chassis
and a winch frame of some sort. I added a few spare
vehicle bits which any decent vehicle recovery unit
would have. I also used a bit of model ship chain, a
model ship pulley and ship rope for the winching gear. The
three crew are from various places.
