1:35 Bergepanzer 2A2 - TAKOM
Based on the German Leopard 1 tank, the Bergepanzer 2 armored recovery vehicle was designed to ensure the mobility of armored forces by recovering, repairing damaged and broken-down Leopard tanks. These vehicles are operated by the logistical forces and tank grenadier companies of the Bundeswehr, as well as foreign operators of the Leopard 1 tank. Weighing in at 40.8 tons, some 480 units were produced between 1965-1969. The vehicle is operated by a crew of 4: the commander, driver, machine gunner and radio operator. The vehicle is equipped with a boom for lifting turrets, engines in and out of tanks, as well as a spade and winch system for recovering bogged down vehicles. Bergepanzer 2 A2 was developed to service the heavier turrets of the Flakpanzer Gepard and the Leopard 2 and features a hydraulic stabilizer on the rear right corner.
