Panzer Tracts No. 5-4 - Panzerkampwagen Panther II and Panther Ausf.F

 

Hundreds of hours accurately measuring the surviving Panther II chassis and the Schmalturm and many hours 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. Extensive measurement of the Panther II chassis prove that its design is completely different than the Panther Ausf.F chassis. We have selected the unique approach of using 1/10th scale drawings to illustrate the smallest details, while six-view (including right side and belly) 1/35th scale drawings. Also includes “flat-plane” drawings of many components to assist modelers in making accurate parts that would be hard to replicate if only drawn at the angle in which they are actually mounted. This book also includes the development history of these rare Panther variants.
