From the publisher: The German Panther is one of the most famous tanks of World War II. Often considered the most elegant tank design of the war, its balance of firepower, armor protection, and mobility was unmatched by any other tank of the period. This new study by German armor expert Anderson draws upon German archival material to relate the birth of the Panther in response to Soviet tanks encountered in 1941. Anderson analyzes the Panther’s battlefield success and the many modifications and variants that also came into play. Illustrated throughout with rare photographs and drawings, many of which have never been published in English before, this is a unique history of a legendary tank.

FSM says:  Extensive detail photos and information on variants are sure to help modelers find their way with a variety of available kits. Questions about details? You’ll see them here.
