Nice model of what often struck me as a strange use of an AFV chassis, which were in short supply for Germany. A relatively light AA gun, in a very cramped environment, which must have affected quick reaction and far more horizontal armour than needed. |

"Bergepanzer" usually refers to a tank recovery vehicle. I admit to never having this one before. Might this have been a way to get "double duty" from this vehicle? GdeP |

Looks like a Hetzer with the top cut open. Very small vehicle. |

I don't think this vehicle existed in reality. My Google searches have only produced images of Dragon's kit and not the real thing. The book "Czechoslovak Armoured Fighting Vehicles 1918-1948" by Kliment & Francev makes no mention of it at all. Dragon's own website says that this was a "planned" vehicle. There could have been a field conversion somewhere, but flakpanzer versions of the 38(t) already existed, so why bother? Interestingly, the man that wrote the linked pages claims to have seen one or two photos of the real thing. Shame that he has neither reproduced them nor linked to them. |
