Hi Karl ,If you are talking about the new Dragon kit...I don't think it has been released yet ...If you are talking about the old Italeri kit ...this is not a real Bergetiger it was a one of a kind vehicle used to place demolition charges and not used as a recovery vehicle ...There must be a few still around on the shelves somewhere..

According to the image taken from a book (forget which one now) there were three Bergetigers as Italeri called them made. See writing on top left corner.

Oh you are right ...they have been called that often but the latest train of thought has now debunked this thinking and now call these converted tigers Ladungslegers.
