Panther Tanks - German Army Panzer Brigades: Western and Eastern Fronts, 1944-1945

Description

In July 1944, with the Eastern Front crumbling and the first cracks appearing in the Normandy defences, Hitler ordered the creation of a new type of unit based on the ad-hoc Kampfgruppen which the Germans used so successfully throughout the war. Hastily assembled and short-lived these independent Panzer brigades nevertheless served on both fronts in some of the fiercest fighting of the conflict. The real striking power of the initial units would a battalion equipped with the Pzkpfw V Panther, perhaps the most effective armoured vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War. In Dennis Oliver's latest volume in the TankCraft series he uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the Panther battalions of the Panzer brigades that fought to hold back the Allied advance during the last months of 1944\. 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 modeller needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic tanks. Review: 平易な英文で書かれており読みやすいしカラー写真も大きくて綺麗 - なんといってもカラー写真が大きくて綺麗でモデルの塗装の参考になります。 モデラーには見るだけでも楽しいです。 1/35のキットの解説が主ですが、その他のスケールのキットを作る参考に十分になります。 また洋書なのですが、平易な英文で書かれており図をみれば解説はいらないくらいです。 図はすべてカラーで発色も良く大きくて、解りやすいこと、平易な英文でかかれていることから星５つとします。 Review: Great addition to the series - Another great book by Dennis Oliver love his artwork and full of useful information. Ideal for modellers of this subject.
