Panther Medium Tank
IV. SS-Panzerkorps Eastern Front, 1944

Über dieses Buch
This fully illustrated modeling guide offers in-depth information on the German Panther tanks battalions that fought Russia in 1944. In the summer of 1944, overwhelming Soviet offensives threatened to destroy the entire German army on the Eastern Front. As the Wehrmacht scrambled to hold its ground, the newly raised IV SS-Panzerkorps—with its battalions of Pzkpfw V Panther tanks—was critical to the defense. The Panthers were perhaps the most effective armored fighting vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War. In this volume of the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the Panther battalions that fought to hold back the Soviet advance. A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined, providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic tanks.
