I'm new to the forum and am just getting back into modelling after a couple of decades away.

I have a couple of different Jagdpanther kits, a Tamiya "Late" version #35203 and a Dragon Ausf. G1 "Early Production" #6458. I am looking for some suggestions of good reference material (books, articles, etc). Also, it would be nice if some of that reference material contained photographs.

Thanks for help,

Dave

Your best starting point in my opinion is Panzer Tracts 9-3 on the Jagdpanther. Serious research, timeline of devt history, unit reports, allocations, production and Doyle drawings.
