  3. Its a Panzer V Panther ausf. A, with Zimmerit, so probably captured in Normandy. Dunno where that one is, but it definitely isn't Bovington.

  4. I think it's a G as it has a proper machine gun sponson in the hull.

  5. OK fellow rivet counters, Model A or G?

  7. It's an A. The D had the flap for the hull MG and a different commander's cupola. The main difference between the A and G is that the hull side of the G slopes gradually towards the rear of the tank. And there are six more rivets.

  9. The G didn't have the driver's vision slit in the glacis, driver drove via periscope only. (Also shape of hull, etc.)
