This conversion is based on written documetation of a field modification of a T-34(r) that was converted into the Bergepanzer role in Russia and then had a FlaK Drilling MG 151, 20mm mounted in it. I scratch-built the interior (driver's and fighting compartment) and added other stowage from the spares box (antennae mount, notek light, fire extinguisher, saw, PzKpfw IV tracks, track jack and track block).
