For Panzer Tracts No.9-3: Jagdpanther, the Panzer Tracts team spent hundreds of hours accurately measuring every surviving Jagdpanther and over a thousand hours drawing at full scale and creating as-built drawings to the same tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms.
Authors Thomas Jentz and Hilary Doyle devoted hundreds of research hours to finding the numerous previously unnoticed modifications. They created ‘flat-plane’ drawings of many components to aid modellers in making accurate parts that are hard to replicate when only drawn at an angle.
As a result, this book is packed with information about the development, history, production, unit organisation, issue, tactics, and wartime reports from front-line units.
This 98-page book is extensively illustrated with 44 pages of the most accurate 1:35, 1:20 and 1:10 scale CAD drawings available and 60 clear photographs of the Jagdpanther.
Working closely with Hilary Doyle, Panzerwrecks has overhauled this essential book with more pages and more photographs – all of which are large and clear. Many of these photographs have been rescanned from originals for optimum reproduction quality. Hilary Doyle has also revised most of the drawings.
This is the must-have book for accurate information and scale drawings of the Jagdpanther.
