anyone have an idea on how feasable it would be to covert a heng long panzer iv into a Bergepanzer IV? i read that all the bergepanzers were late marks i would be using hls f1

Bergepanzer IV were converted from damaged battletank so you can take any Panzer IV....

I'm in the process of converting a Panzer III into a bergepanzer III which obviously is not too disimilar and its been a hoot. The only real problem I'm finding are things like joints and pullies for the crane to work etc. however I did find some stuff at (of all places) www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk which should sufice till I can work out something better. If I can pluck up the courage I will post some photo's once its completed.

abo,
maybe this site is some help for you:

Gunnar,

Thanks for that, some good little ideas although I'm at the bodywork completed stage on my version but I did my woodem cab in a similar way.

There doesn't seem to be many real pictures of the bergepanzer III, there are only about four that do the rounds on various sites, there are quite a few if the IV though, should have chosen that perhaps, I just liked the idea of building the wooden workshop on the III.
