Panzer Tracts No.9-3: Jagdpanther

Panzer Tracts No.9-3: JagdpantherFor 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 hours of research 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 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.Book DataAuthors: Hilary Doyle & Thomas Jentz Language: English (UK) ISBN: 9781915969163 Pages: 98 Photos: 60 Drawings: 44 pages of 1:35, 1:20 and 1:10 scale CAD drawings Physical: Softcover, 280x215mm, portraitContentsIntroductionDevelopment and ProductionChanges Introduced During ProductionCAD DrawingsOrganisation & TacticsImprovements6 more pages14 more photographsRevised CAD drawings, including new views of the Motor Abdeckung (engine deck armour)Rewritten captionsRescanned and reworked images for clarity and tonal qualityClearer layout and navigationTable of ContentsTitle on the spinePerfect bound for durabilityAbout the Authors Hilary L Doyle Author Hilary initially trained as a civil engineering draughtsman with the Irish Railways, but later achieved Chartered Engineer status.
