I am currently building Tamiya's 1:35 Panther ausf. A

and because the tracks are a big rubbish to look at, I was thinking of making some side skirts

My question is, was the Panther ausf. A ever fitted with side skirts, and how and where were these attached to the vehicle?



thanks

Hello,

here some links which show the Panther A with side skirts:

best regards

The skirts hung from L shaped brackets that fitted into slots (brackets) mounted under the hull sponsons. See here:
