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.

Looks fantastic! Nice bit of modeling. Love the new blog name, too.
The name change was sort of a late spring clean😀
Looks great!
Thanks I have lots more scratch conversions to do😀
That is an excellent conversion, The attention to detail is what it makes stand out. The paintjob is also top notch. Very realistic. This is also a subject that is not often depicted and I am sure it will add nicely to your table.
Thanks,I will perhaps change the chain at a later date as I think it’s too big ?
