Panther Series Periscopes where and when they were fitted.
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:41 am
Here is the second part of the periscope post. Refer to Tiger periscope post for types of periscopes and detail.
As with the Tiger both types of periscopes were used on the Panther series.
Periscope Type 1. Item catalog number TT28
External look only. Item catalog number Pan15A
Panther Loaders Periscope. As interior cannot be seen recommend Item number Pan15A. The same goes for all other deck mounted periscopes.
Jagdpanther Driver Periscope. Item catalog number Pan15A
Periscope Type 2
Cupola Periscope Mounts. Item catalog number Pan24
6 Scale Periscopes and Mounts.
Plans showing periscope positions and types.
Here again in most cases the external look periscope should be used for all deck mounted periscope. The only exception would be the radio op and maybe the drivers periscopes which can be seen through the hatches.
Regards
Mike
