Carlinuk Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi all I'm searching for a source of technical info to assist with a possible Panzer 38t project. Ideally some sort of manual, drawings, exploded parts diagrams ? We already have some photo and walk around picture books. Anyone got anything, know of anything or know where we could go searching ? All help greatly received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonnie_scott Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi, If you want good quality drawings and details I don't think you could do much better than the Panzertracts books, No 18 specifically deals with the 38t the following is from the web page of Barbarossa Books SNIP>Development history, unique characteristics, major modifications, data sheets, and armour specifications on PzKpfw 38 (t) Ausf A to G and S production,modification and operational history from 1939 to 1942. Now for the first time, we have compiled an accurate record of the features of each PzKpfw 38 (t) Ausfuehrung. The correct pieces of the puzzle were found through a lot of hard work, research trips to measure and study the survivors, close attention to detail, and help from friends. Over one thousand hours were spent carefully measuring and drawing all the details of surviving PzKpfw 38 (t) chassis and turrets to create accurate four-view drawings of the Ausf B, C, D, E, F, and S and six-view drawings of the Ausf A and G. Extra efforts were also expended to draw details on the chassis and belly. As is our high standard, Panzer Tracts are based solely on the content of primary source documents. The real value of the PzKpfw 38 (t) can be learned by reading the experience reports written by unit commanders close to the time when the actions occurred. This 76 page book is illustrated with 50 drawings and 67 clean/rare photographs with captions that correctly identify the external characteristics of each Ausfuehrung.<SNIP They seem to say they have it in stock, see http://www.barbarossabooks.eu/panzer-tracts-no-18-panzerkampfwagen-38t-p-9207.html I have the ones he's done about the Panther and can't praise them enough.
