Miniart lift us up with a captured tank's 3-tonner...


MiniArt Models T-60 kit has seen a fair few incarnations and adaptations & we think this one will be a hit. The addition of the 3-tonne crane to the T-60 captured Soviet tank gives us a Bergepanzer so cute & tiny, how could you not take a look at it, the sprues, colours & artwork in our preview...

Kit Number #35238
1:35th scale
Box size: 345x240x60 mm
MiniArt is making more for you from their excellent little T-60 kit. This time a captured version with a three-tonne crane mounted to it. We have only ONE picture of this tank/ crane combination, although there may well be many more of them made - this is the only one we know of so far...

The tank with a 3-tonne crane mounted to it by the Germans on the Soviet T-60 tank, abandoned near Viesely farm, 6 December 1943.
The CAD drawings we have shown you some of the features of the kit and reveal a lot more about what is planned and what it will look like...
The sprues of the kit are also rendered so we can see some of the additions to the T-60 kit that make this unique little thing so interesting...
