AFV Club 35008 M88A1 Recovery Tank Bergpanzer (1/35) – detailed scale model kit

AFV Club 35008 M88A1 Recovery Tank Bergpanzer is a high-quality plastic model kit in the popular 1/35 scale, designed for advanced military enthusiasts and military vehicle modelers. The model represents the legendary American tracked vehicle, the M88A1 Armoured Recovery Vehicle, used for evacuation and repair of heavy combat equipment on the battlefield.

The original M88A1 formed the backbone of technical support for the U.S. Armed Forces from the 1960s to the present day. Equipped with a powerful engine and specialized equipment, it allowed for towing tanks, lifting turrets, and performing field repairs. M88A1 units took part in numerous conflicts such as the Vietnam War, Gulf War, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the War in Afghanistan. The M88A1 was also in service with the armies of other NATO and allied countries, often serving in various upgraded versions.

The AFV Club model offers a detailed reproduction of the vehicle, including characteristic elements of the A1 version, such as the modern crane, jib, winches, and side shields. The precisely manufactured plastic sprues ensure excellent detail quality, which is perfect for painting and weathering. The kit does not include glue or paints, allowing the modeler to select final materials themselves. The box contains clear decals, allowing the creation of several historical unit markings. The set's major advantages include workable tracks, highly detailed components, and optional additional armament details.
