The first text up left only tells you how to work with resin.
Down left explains the story of those "Bergehetzer".
The instructions is the lil part up right on the first pic. It says:
To build this Bergehetzer you need the Dragon kit 6030. Please follow the Dragon instructions step 1-5 and step 10. Only the pe part MA4 will be needed and istalled like Dragon shows in the instructions. Instead of the ilder wheels from Dragon, please use the late 6 hole wheels, provided with our resinkit. The small text on page 2 is not important for you. "Baustufe" means: Step.
I hope you can understand what i translated?

"History:
Beginning at mid 1944, Heerespanzerjäger-Abteilungen (Tank hunter corps of the Wehrmacht) which were equipped with the Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer", recived converted Bergehetetzer 38(t).
In contrast to the Hetzer, those had an open top and a slightly lower hull, which could be closed with a canvas; mountings for a 2ton-crane were placed on the left side of the vehicle, a two-pice tow bar and an unditching beam were located on the right.
The tailskid could be lowered to improve traction when using the 5ton winch, wich was powered via the transmission.
Pictures of these vehicles are rare, aside some unsal, some show unusual schemes. Light green (grey), with brown (green) and light grey (sandy yellow) stripes ontop. There are no unit insignia or other markings visible on these photos."
I asume the colors in brackets are sipmply an alternative of the one mentioned before. The scheme might be simmilar to the Hetzer in Bovington.
Pretty hard to translate every information in there... a masterpiece of German syntax 😉
Looking forward to your build Scott. 😉

Tailskid or tail skid = "Hecks[****]"... though at least you could read German... 😛
I reduced my consumption of german syncronized tv shows to zero and started watching them in english right away. Apart from the fact i´m always three months ahaed, it did quite improve my skills 😉

Album info
I recently got a Berghetzer conversion kit from New Connections Models (NC3501) from eBay and the instructions are in German. Would anyone be willing to let me know what they say? Thanks so much.
I have figured out that it is for the Dragon Hetzer kit 6030.
