The authors have spent hundreds of hours accurately measuring survivors and hundreds of days drawing at full-scale to create as-built drawings for the first time - accurate to the same tight tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms. Hundreds of research hours went into finding the numerous previously unnoticed modifications. Many of these newly discovered details would remain "hidden" if printed as 1/35th scale overview drawings. Therefore, we have selected the unique approach of using 1/10th scale drawings to illustrate the smallest details on components; while six-view (including right side and belly) 1/35th scale drawings are still used for the complete Panther. They also created "flat-plane" drawings of many components to aid modelers make accurate parts that are hard to replicate when only drawn at angle. 2003,paper covers, 8 1/2 x 11, 68-page book is heavily illustrated with over 200 scale drawings and 38 clear/rare large-format photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Used to build my full size turret!,
By
This review is from: Panzerkampfwagen "Panther" Ausf.A (Panzer Tracts, # 5-2) (Paperback)
I am building a full size steel replica of a Panther A turret to be emplaced on a bunker. I used books 5-1 to 5-3 and 21-2 (these are the D,A,G, and Panther bunker books). I used these to supplement my actual measurements. These were absolutely perfect because they lay out EXACTLY what production changes were made and exactly when. This enabled me to pick the exact features I wanted and the corresponding date. That prevented me from having say, the wrong ventilation fan cover with sight apertures from a later model. If you want to know the nuts and bolts of building a Panther, THIS IS YOUR GUIDE. It is very technically oriented. If you want to read battle stories and see action photos get something else. For my purposes it was perfect!
