German BergeTiger in 1/72 scale
The turret and the crane on it will be made up of 21 parts, some of them are
tiny so be careful. Bad thing is that the main wire rope has not grain on it,
but the wire ropes on the upper hull and around the spool are designed to be
like the true one. BTW, you get three different gun shields, only one will be
used in building this Bergetiger. Obviously other two are for Tiger. You should add a headlight and a spade, which are showed on the boxart, to
the front hull. Headlight is between bow MG and driver's observation hatch. The
spade is on its usual position on a Tiger. In one word, it is a interesting kits worthy of your some work. Moreover,
this strange beast can give you more choices to make a diorama.

General Impression
It is strange kits, with oversimplified lower
hull, track and wheels, but very detailed turret and crane. The track and wheels
are moulded into one piece, just like other C.C.LEE 1/72 AFVs. Fortunately the
detail of its wheels is better than C.C.LEE Bergepanther's.
