I would like to know where I can find detailed line drawings of the IR scopes that the Panther G had in the later part of WWII?

Herr Wulffuhrer-
FineScale Modeler Nov. 2000 issue has an article by George Bradford on the late war PzKfw.V ausf.G's which mounted the IR sighting equipment. It has a few line drawings, Tech data, and field usage notes. No contact info is given, but I imagine you could Google the author or request an address through FSM/ Kalmbach. HTH

Also in the same issue is an article by Thomas Anderson about converting an Italeri Panther D with IR equipment. If you need a copy of the articles, PM me with your snail mail address and I'll copy them and mail the to you

Oh, yeah... snail mail. Guess I could've offered to do that. D'OH!! Just because my Scanner is inop, I automatically assumed I had no way to get it to you, Wolf. Where's the embarassed dumb@$$ Icon when you need it?
