Trumpeter 00389 1/35 German Bergepanzer IV Recovery Vehicle Model Kit - Off-Road Recovery Edition  [TP00389]

Trumpeter 1/35 German Bergepanzer IV Recovery Vehicle: Builder Brief

The Panzer IV was widely used across World War II battlefronts thanks to its adaptability and strong construction. The Bergepanzer IV converted that chassis into a purpose-built recovery unit by removing the turret and installing crane equipment; production of the Bergepanzer 36 started by May 1944 to meet recovery needs.

Scale Accuracy and Modelling Detail

Trumpeter's 1/35 kit mirrors the Bergepanzer IVs functional components and offers parts that highlight the vehicle's support role. The layout and detailing are aimed at modelers wanting a faithful scale reproduction of a wartime recovery vehicle.

Build Complexity and Finished Scale

Featuring 823 plastic parts on 18 sprues, this kit is a detailed project that rewards precise assembly and careful finishing. The included photo-etched frets refine surface detail, and the finished model measures 168mm in length, 82.9mm in width and 58.3mm in height for a solid display presence.
