Panzerwrecks has announced the release of Panzer Tracts No. 5-3: Panzerkampfwagen Panther Ausführung G. 

The original 2004 edition was the standard reference for the Panther Ausf. G. This new edition builds on it with more than twenty years of additional research: 136 pages (68 more than the original), 116 photographs (87 more than the original), and 54 pages of scale CAD drawings. This completely revised edition is THE definitive reference for late-war Panther variants and compiled by experts Thomas L. Jentz and Hilary Doyle. Based exclusively on primary sources, factory records, and detailed measurements of surviving vehicles, the volume offers accurate technical data for modellers and researchers.

The book features over 200 precise CAD drawings in 1/35, 1/20, and 1/10 scales, including comprehensive six-view plans designed to ensure accuracy in structural details like plate weld lines. Furthermore, 1/10 scale flat-plane drawings provide clarity on complex components, tracking production changes across different assembly plants.
Coverage includes in-depth analysis of late-war adaptations, featuring high-contrast photographs and diagrams of the F.G.1250 infrared searchlight system. This, combined with detailed manufacturing studies, aids in distinguishing production variations from manufacturers such as M.A.N. and Daimler-Benz.
At-a-glance: this upgraded edition features:
-It is twice the size of the original book at 136 pages. Fully revised content, including newly uncovered historical and technical information.
-116 large, high-resolution photographs, an increase of no less than 87 (!) images. 
– The book & its photo materials are reproduced to the highest possible quality.
- 54 pages of precisely dimensioned CAD drawings in 1:35, 1:20 and 1:10 scales, created to original Panther manufacturer tolerances and assembly standards
- Included are the most accurate Ausf. G plans ever published. Eleven more pages than the original.
