Product Description

This book is an expanded and revised edition of the classic work by Jentz and Doyle, originally published in 2003 and a major breakthrough in research on the Panther tank, with the addition of newly discovered technical and historical data and new CAD drawings.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most authoritative source on the Panther D type published up until 2025.
The commentary has been rewritten to reflect the latest research and provides a comprehensive examination of the development of the Panther D from the earliest prototypes (Versuchs-Serie) through to the end of D production, covering technical changes, design refinements and service life modifications in chronological order, with diagrams, annotations and newly uncovered factory records.
The back cover also includes a quick reference table summarizing the major changes.
Like the rest of the PANZER TRACTS series, it is based solely on wartime source material, factory records and meticulous examination of existing vehicles, and presents only hard, rigorously interpreted facts, without any speculation.
The total number of pages has increased by approximately 60% to 124 pages, and the book contains 102 high-resolution large-format photographs (62 of which are new).
The 40 pages of detailed 1/35, 1/20 and 1/10 scale CAD drawings strictly adhere to the factory tolerances and assembly standards adopted by the three Panther manufacturers, making them the most accurate Panther D drawings available to date.
This is a must-have book for scale model makers of Tamiya, Dragon, ICM, Mon Model, Zvezda, and other brands, as well as for military historians and technology researchers.
