1:48 Bergetiger - conversion set from CMK converts a plastic heavy tank kit into a recovery version. It is a resin accessory, not a kit in its own right.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set contains resin parts that turn a plastic kit of a heavy tank into a technical version without a combat function. It is not a kit of the vehicle: you need to buy the base model separately and the conversion replaces the part that decides its role.
Bergetiger is the designation for a modification of the Tiger I chassis into a technical vehicle in which the combat armament was replaced by lifting equipment. Only a small number is documented and its exact purpose is still disputed among researchers: both a recovery and an engineer role are put forward. For a modeler what matters is that it differs from an ordinary tank in the superstructure above the hull, not in the running gear.
Recovery and technical vehicles are rare in collections, because they are hardly ever made as kits: a conversion is usually the only way. The reward is a vehicle that catches the eye at once among a row of combat machines, and on top of that a natural motif for a diorama, because equipment without a weapon almost always needs the context of a scene. On the other hand: compared with the Sturmtiger the change is proportionally smaller and concentrated in the upper part of the hull. Anyone who wants the largest possible visual difference for the least work will reach for a more extensive conversion; anyone who wants an unconventional subject has it here.
Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water and cut the casting blocks off with a saw. Sand wet and with respiratory protection. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). On a technical vehicle it is worth spending time on the patina: recovery equipment used to be markedly dirtied with soil, so washes, pigments and muddy effects on the running gear do more for credibility than a perfect sheen of paint.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
