After a day or so delay, I've completed this......................

The Bergepanther is an early ICM kit ( 2006 ), and is moulded nicely, no flash. The supplied individual link tracks were poor, so I replaced them with another link set from the spares crate. Aside from that the build was pretty painless, no filler being used. One thing that I would replace, if I had one spare, is the block on the jib, I would put a chain block, or a proper block & tackle to replace the rather indeterminate kit part.
A nice simple build - no major obstacles, well worth the time

Looks good Dave, nice work.

I'll start mine when I'm feeling drunk brave enough to tackle those tracks....

Wow I'm loving that build Dave ! Looks superb to me, sure maybe a chain woukd look some better but not necessary imo. Good going.

Agree Dave, that setup cries out for a proper chain fall.
