1/35 "Prost!", Between Battles on Bergepanther (WWII German Tankmen with Bergepanther)
ICM 1/35 "Prost!", Between Battles on Bergepanther is a plastic kit of the German Bergepanther armoured recovery vehicle with four tank crew figures and a dog. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Bergepanther was developed during the Second World War as an armoured recovery vehicle on the Panther chassis. Instead of a turret it received a simple superstructure, and many vehicles carried a winch and a rear earth spade. It recovered damaged and stranded Panthers and even heavy Tigers, which the earlier half-track tractors were mostly unable to handle. The "Prost!" scene shows the crew during a pause between battles – in its accompanying text ICM notes that alcohol was one of the ways of relieving tension and stress at the front.
According to the manufacturer, the ICM kit in 1/35 scale consists of 348 + 33 parts: a model of the Bergepanther recovery vehicle plus figures of four German tankers at rest and a dog, arranged into a lively scene from frontline life. ICM highlights the detailed uniforms of the German tank crew. The finished model suits a display cabinet as well as serving as the basis of a diorama, for example on a rutted village road.
The 1/35 scale gives the figures enough size for careful painting of faces and uniforms, while the bulky hull of the Bergepanther offers plenty of room for weathering – mud on the running gear, dust and signs of service. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
