Hi Paul,
The panzer tracts series, Panther Ausf G also has a scale (1:10) drawing of the IR scope set up on the CDR's cupola. The book is by Hillary Doyle if memory serves me (responding from work). These are available for $25-30 in the US.

Carlos,

The Tank Power series of books from the Polish author Waldemar Trojca now run into eight (at the moment!) volumes and have numerous drawings and general arrangement drawings of the Infra Red gear including Solution A and Solution B arangements. They're also full of other oddities such as coal gas powered Panthers, the various BergPanther variants and such like. A must for all Panther nuts!
