Its reliable armour and powerful firepower made this tank a formidable opponent on the battlefield. Various combat vehicles were produced based on its chassis, including the armoured recovery vehicle (ARV) Sd.Kfz. 179 Bergepanther. One of the unusual modifications of this vehicle was produced in the 653rd Heavy Panzerjäger Battalion (Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA turret from another tank, the Pz.Kpfw.IV, was installed on the chassis of the ARV, thus converting the Bergepanther into a command vehicle. According to some researchers, this turret was fixed, and instead of a gun, its dummy was installed, allowing the space inside the armoured hull, free from the gun, to be used for additional radio stations and work with combat maps. It is likely that such a modification was made only on one specimen. This vehicle was part of the combat strength of the Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653, and its use occurred in the spring of 1944 in the area of Ternopil, Ukraine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombat vehicle with a turret from the well-known Panzerwaffe Pz.Kpfw.IV tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnusual modernisation of the Bergepanther under field conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model kit was made on the basis of historical photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecals reproduce the markings for the Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1:35\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts:\u003cstrong\u003e 423\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength:\u003cstrong\u003e 215\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight:\u003cstrong\u003e 121 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox size: \u003cstrong\u003e294 x 230 x 58 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e German\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1939-1945 - World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM35360\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.
