I've been getting some questions lately on how to build the Bergetiger (P) – so I've put up a how to guide on the blog. Short story – it's a fairly intense conversion, but it isn't impossible with some basic casting or judicious surgery of a few miniatures. What you'll need: One Tiger (P)
One Elefant
One Panzer IV ausf G
Top machine gun from a hetzer (or Stug G late) You'll also need some green putty or apoxie sculpt for zimmerit – a couple of thicknesses of styrene (to the very thin side) – and a fair bit of patience! Eventually you'll get something that looks like this:

At least a couple were used operationally. 653 Schwere Panzerjaeger used them in the Ukraine. The first company had been separated and sent to oppose the Anzio bridgehead. Both used the Bergetiger (P). |

Oh right, never knew that – thanks. I knew the BergePanther was used a lot, and Shermans were much sought after to de-turret and use in the armoured recovery role, but none of my sources mention the Bergetiger P…. |

gets started with WWI British in 15mm.
