Bergetiger German Engineering Vehicle Plastic Model Diorama

The diorama was inspired by a photograph found on the internet. The model of the Bergetiger vehicle was built to a 1:35 scale from a Ryefield Model Kit containing parts for assembling the German Bergepanzer Tiger I engineering vehicle. The work was enhanced with photo-etched parts from Voyager.

The diorama was based on the photograph taken in Italy in 1944. It shows a German military vehicle converted from a Tiger, damaged and abandoned on the side of the road. Bergetiger is the name given by the Allies to the found vehicle.

Its purpose was probably the repair of military vehicles immobilized during combat. A light crane made it possible to replace the engine, gearbox or wheel.
