Re: Can you tell what it is yet.
Curiosity is getting the better of me. Knowing little of the Bergepanther and that kit- who made the winch for it?

> who made the winch for it?
Armortek. It's based around one of the older style main drive motors, but with a higher ratio gearbox for more grunt.

Hello Jerry,
Yes there is not much info/builds on the Bergpanther, With around only 20 produced so nearly as rare as the Sturmtiger,
As Adrian said this is an armortek produced winch kit, It weighs a ton! and took me best part of a day to put together, Because of the storage compartment above the winch most builds are hiding the winch underneath, So think i will have the winch exposed just to show it off,
Kind regards, Chris.

Awesome, one of my favorite Panther version. Will be fun to follow this. The winch is amazing. Is this your kit Chris? Or perhaps Wheatcroft?
Best regards,

Hello Robert and William,
Robert, Another one of the Wheatcroft collection's kits, I will post more build pictures as it progress hopefully!!, (i haven't got the hull yet).

Hint, Hint you Armortek elves out there....Bergepanther....winch.... next kit please... I wouldn't mind a G version bergepanther
I've been fascinated by the heavy duty winches. I have made a winch, actually 3 of them, for smaller scale projects. They are powerful enough
to pull an enormous weight or destroy themselves in the process so I've always seen the need to use them wisely...
