Gamera, Bish, Thanks for looking in and the compliments. Yes the Dragon kit, and I hear that it's all around the best of the four available.

Interesting project, its looking nice.

I am glad Dragon has come out with the ''Bergetiger''. I plan on ditching my old CMK kit and getting the new one.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

With some hub-bub over the "BergePanzer Tiger" with a couple new kits and the descriptive title of these kits, I decided to bash out my own version while away from the bench visiting my nephew for a week.

Three of the four kits that I know of in 1/35 plastic:

CMK box art sprueone

Italeri box art sprueone

Rye Field box art sprueone

 

The old 1981 Tamiya M48A3. Everything is from the box except the flint striker from a disposable lighter.

A fenderless tank is something I always wanted to do.

The winch frame made from the fenders.

 scratch built pulley wheels sprueone

Pulley wheels made from 2 upper return rollers then added parts from the turret bustle rack parts and tow cable ring.

^ yup, old Tamiya tank kit.

Next is primer to determine how much of a Glue Bomb this really is.
