Panzer Tracts No. 5-3 Panzerkampfwagen "Panther" Ausf.G
We spent hundreds of hours precisely measuring survivors and over a thousand 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. Hundreds of research hours went into finding the numerous previously unnoticed modifications. Therefore, 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 are still used for the complete Panther. We also created “flat-plane” drawings of many components to aid modelers make accurate parts that are hard to replicate when only drawn at an angle. This 68 page book is the ultimate accurate reference for the Panther Ausf.G and the F.G.1250 infra-red scope and sight with over 200 scale drawings and 29 clear/rare large-format photos.
Panzer Tracts No. 21-1 Staende mit Pz.Kpfw. Tuermen(Panzer Turrets on Concrete and Wood stands) Pz.Kpfw.-Turm I to F.Pz.D.T.4814
Thanks to finding the original 1/10th scale drawings used to construct these concrete and wood stands and our detailed measurement of many surviving turrets, we now can accurately present these rare field fortifications with “recycled” Panzer turrets for the first time. This was truly an international effort with help investigating surviving “bunkers” and finding rare photos coming from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Poland, and the U.S.A. This book features the Pz.Kpfw.-Turm I, II (normal), II (Flamingo), VK 901, 38(t), 38(t) (Behelfs), 35 (t), 35(t) (Behelfs), III, and VK 3001 and the rare F.Pz.D.T.4803, 4804, and 4814 (P40(i) Turm). In accordance with our high standards, the text and data are based solely on primary sources. 109 drawings and 26 rare photos illustrate 17 different emplacements in this new 48 page accurate reference book. |
