This time I am going to tell you more about ICM 1/35 Bergenpanther with Pz.Kpfw.IV Turret (35360). As you can guess, we get yet another version of the famous German tank. Today's type is even more unusual as it features different turret on the top. I reviewed previous editions, but it will be interesting to see what is included here. Packaging is typical, so all frames are packed into the same plastic bag. There are 423 parts which should assemble into a model with 215mm length. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with combo-set from the same brand.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.
I would like to start with plastic tracks first as some brands still manage to include rubber parts instead those. As you can guess, those separate links is a way better thing to have in 1/35 scale.
Here you can see some of the hull panels and various pioneer tools. Overall details look good, but note that tools are molded together with clamps.
Plastic roadwheels come on the several frames. Of course, for the rubber sections you have to use some circular templates or just spend some time painting with brush. :)
New turret parts come on their own frame. Overall design is quite simple, so don't expect anything like interior or separate hatches here.
Top hull section is molded as single-piece element. Note that some panels are separate and we saw them on the photos above.
Lower hull section is finished in the same style, and overall fitment is very good. You can check it in the video.
Decals sheet carries symbols for one marking only, but printing quality is good. You can see the camouflage on the photo below.
Assembly manual is typical for this brand, and you can check all pages in the video-review.
New Panther should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is an interesting choice for modelers who would like to have something unusual in their collection. Overall design looks nice, but it is strange to see molded in hatches on the turret. From another side you get plastic track links which should look great on the model. I wonder if there will be any figurines made for this tank, but it is not difficult to use something from existing kits from the same brand.
