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 A-type published up until 2025.
The commentary has been rewritten to reflect the latest research and provides a comprehensive look at the development of the Panther Ausf. A, from the early production vehicles similar to the Ausf. D to the final production vehicles built in July 1944. It provides a chronological overview of the technical changes, design refinements, and modifications throughout the tank's service life, and includes 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 doubled to 128 pages, and it now features 108 high-resolution large-format photographs (71 of which are new).
The 50 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 A-type drawings available to date.
This is a must-have book for scale model makers of Tamiya, Dragon, Hobby Boss, Italeri, Monmodel, Takom, Zvezda, and others, as well as for military historians and technology researchers.
