1945 German camo schemes

All I've read about the drivers sights says that it was never used but I'm not 100% sure why. The only picture I can see which I have confidence in being right is this

Other than the Ir sight everything looks like a normal G to me

I think im going to go ahead and use it because it looks very plausible. What I mean is that it looks like it was taken from another panther then welded onto the hull.

I had read that the driver didn't have have any device and he relied on commands from the commander. And i can't say i have seen any pics that show anything added to the drivers position.

The Concord Panther book has about 1- 1 1/2 pages on the Panther and IR equipment. I am just recalling off the top of my head, but essentially there were two set ups. "Solution A" which was just the TC having the IR device, and "Solution B", which is what the Dragon kit depicts, with the Driver, Gunner, and TC each having seperate IR devices. But where Dragon goofed was in giving their G kit the "Solution B" set up. "B" was used on older rebuilt Panthers that had the drivors visor glacis flap and binocular gunners site that could have one side for day monocular site and the other for the IR device.

Thnaks for that info stik. I may have to try and pick up that book. I'll have to see what the panzer tracts book says about it as well. I know it does include the night fighting Panther.

Thank for the help guys.

Also does anybody know how many tracks the panther had on each side of the tank the kit does not say

i have started a wip it is titled Dragon Nightfighting panther WIP if you wish to view
