What make of panther would the russians have captured?
Thanks Bradneus

well, good question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! according references they captured all types of panthers, but i've only seen photos of A's in service. they even put captured maintence crews to work to maintain the captured vehicles. ACHTUNG PANZER has a pic of an A in russian green and a rather large star on the turret side. stug

Hi,

Check books about Panther (published by AJ Press). In my opinin this is the best publication about this CAT

Well they captured all types of armor and all types of Panthers as the photos from Kublinka show a G and a Jagdpanther as well as an A.
But if you mean which did they capture and use operationally, the only photos I've seen are of A's. I'd have to go dig into the references to see if they are early or late A's (hull ball mg mount)
Archer makes a set of fry transfers for the perviously mentioned all green Panther A #513.

The AJ press books are good, but take all the multiple-set IR and super late war Panther info with a sizeable grain of salt. There is no other photogaphic evidences of these.
Spiffy CAD drawings do not make it a reality.

My US$0.02

Concord's book on the Panther shows a group of caputured late A's (ball mount hull mg) with a dark green finish and large white stars n the turret. They also have large, hand painted turret numbers in white; 503, 513, and 518. I believe these are the markings available on the Archer dry transfers.
