A CONVERTED BERGEPANZER IV

Only 21 or 23 were built actually but as a matter of fact I managed to buy an old Airfix model for a mere 5 euro which in relative terms is a kind of a bargain. So I went for this conversion. I bought the CMK 2008 kit which allows the conversion of a Revell panzer. 

I know many things can be better but for my wargaming standards the outcome is pretty good and I am generous with this judgement because of some reasons, being my white hair one of them.

So here we go:

  

 

 

  

The log is longer than what it should be or probably it fits well in the Revell kit but not in the Aifix one so I had to cut it shorter. Luckily there is plenty of reference in the web and of pics of outstanding models out there

 

 

The soldier must be from Preiser if I do not mistake, one with the body split between the legs and the trunk. Now the part I like most comes: let's get some action here: 

 

We have a Pz III M by Fujimi form the Regiment Stab (R06) and a SdKfz 250 lang + Pak 38 by Milicast (G136). Base paint is Molak 1187 with humbrol 62 and 86. Figs are mostly from Orion (sets 1-4) but also some from other manufacturers.
