Panther Manual for models A & D is well under way. The turret section covers larger selection of illustrations in comparison to the Tiger 181 E manual. More information and illustrations are prepared and cover much of hull. Included in the manual are original hull drawings in colour from the D 655/1b manual. The Turret manual D 655/2 gives a very comprehensive detail on turret and fittings. Shown hereare sample drawings.
It is expected that the complete Manual will consists of 450
pages, including German text. |
