An injection-molded plastic kit of the German recovery vehicle of the end of the Second World War. The designation Sd.Kfz.179 belongs to the Bergepanther, that is the recovery conversion of the Panther tank, and the qualifier Ausf. G says that it is a machine built on the late Panther Ausf. G chassis. The model is released by Hobby Boss in 1:35 scale, which is the most widespread one for German equipment of that period.
German tank units needed a machine that could pull the weight of the Panther and the Tiger, because half-track tractors were no longer enough for that. The Bergepanther therefore came into being on the production Panther chassis: instead of a turret it received an open superstructure with a tarpaulin, a powerful winch inside the hull and at the rear a lowering earth spade, which dug into the ground during a pull and took up the reaction force. A folding crane jib for handling an engine was part of the equipment as well. The late vehicles were based on the Ausf. G chassis and received the corresponding details of late production.
First finish the running gear and the inside of the hull including the winch, and only then close the hull up. Leave the tracks and the wheels for separate painting; they are glued on only after the hull has been sprayed. A late German vehicle comes out well in the base dark yellow with sprayed patches, over a gloss clear under the decals and with a dark wash in the rivets and the gaps. The earth spade and the blade differ from their surroundings in the abrasion of the metal, which can be suggested with a graphite pencil or with a silver pigment.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
