Bergepanther refurbishment
Also the work on the Bergepanther is finally making some progress...
The beginning. Taking everything apart. Cleaning, sandblasting, priming, painting, waiting for the battery and electronics...Lord, give me strength to change the things I am able to change.... and patience to endure the things I can not change A bunch of Tiger and Panther variants, Leo II, Famo, 222s, a few 88`s and smaler ones like Hetzer, Stug III, 251, etc.
