Hey there, while working on the Panther G I found it to be missing any of the recessed bolt detail. Now I tried to find a detailed top down view in the plate withe the driver and radioman hatch plste. of it to be able to make a mask for proper arranging these on my model, but couldn't find any. Maybe you guys can help me out?
Next I would be happy if someone could tell me about the type of bolts/nuts that were used on that plate as well as on the mount for the pivoting driver optics. Thanks

Thank you Estnische. Couldn´t find a high Quality blueprint for the G yet. Interesting, this G has bolts

Maybe different ways of restoration?

There are two so-called blueprints in the Jentz Panther book. Slightly different bolt pattern to the A and D.
I modelled my A bolts on the Breda Panther.

The Panther in the second picture is the Ausf G in the Bovington Tank Museum, which was actually built by the British Army from spare parts after the war. I've heard it has a mixture of features, so it's probably not the best reference for a production tank.

I guess that is the problem with most of the restored stuff unless it was very well researched.
