“First class illustration and a very effective text overview . . . covers the development, on the Panther chassis, of a very effective tank destroyer.”— Firetrench
 
Combining the destructive firepower of the 88mm gun with the outstanding mobility of the Panther series, the Jagdpanther is quite probably the best-known tank destroyer of the Second World War. In the vehicle’s first action on 30 July 1944, three Jagdpanthers managed to destroy eleven British tanks in a vicious two-minute fire fight near the village of Les Loges in Normandy, cementing the Jagdpanther’s reputation as a potent tank killer.
 
In his fifth book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses contemporary photographs and meticulously researched, superbly presented color and monochrome illustrations to tell the story of these heavy self-propelled antitank guns and the units which operated them in the German defense of the Western Front. As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this work showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of expertly constructed and painted models. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also explained giving the modeler all the information and knowledge required.
 
“Really interesting concept to combine historical, technical and modeling content in one book. Nicely illustrated . . . As a first Jagdpanther book for modelers seeking an economical source on models, accessories and paint schemes, this is valuable… Highly Recommended for Beginner to Intermediate builders.”—AMPS

"Impressive!"
AMPS Indianapolis

“Really interesting concept to combine historical, technical and modeling content in one book. Nicely illustrated. Good selection of paint schemes tied to specific units and periods; good kit and accessory reviews; good, brief unit histories… As a first Jagdpanther book for modelers seeking an economical source on models, accessories and paint schemes, this is valuable… Highly Recommended for Beginner to Intermediate builders.”

I've been familiar with Dennis Oliver's work for some time now, and feel comfortable to say he has set a new standard, when it comes to WW II armor and armored units.
Having nothing more to say, I can only highly recommend them to anyone interested on this subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oliver in more typical form
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022

First, the bad bit - ignore the Kindle page count, it’s bloated by terrible formatting in the modeling section.

The rest is a lot more reminiscent of Oliver’s books on German armor put out by ADH Publishing. *Very* reminiscent. Since a lot of the multi-volume titles promised by ADH never appeared, I’m guessing that most of this title - except the modeling section - started as material for one of those unreleased titles. This is a *good* thing., since those were excellent books, and the non-appearance of so many of them was frustrating.

So all in all, a rather good title - now if only they could figure out a way of getting the modeling section to stop looking like a complete mess.

Reviewed in Italy on November 7, 2021

Tanti anni fa esisteva una rivista, "Storia Modellismo", che coniugava articoli di storia militare con la passione per il plastimodellismo, ovvero con il montaggio di kit di aerei, mezzi militari o "soldatini" in piccola scala. Questa serie riprende il concetto: c'è una prefazione storica sul tema trattato, mentre la seconda parte si occupa dell'aspetto modellistico, con le descrizione e il montaggio di alcuni dei kit disponibili sul merato. In formato kindle a prezzo scontato (meno di 4 euro). Se il genere vi interessa, che aspettate ?

Teilweise schöne und seltenere Aufnahmen des Jagpanther in guter Qualität. Detailaufnahmen kommen leider etwas zu kurz. Ich hätte mir mehr Informationen zu Tarnanstrichen gewünscht. Aufgrund des günstigen Preises dennoch als Hilfe zum Bau des Jagdpanthers geeignet. Bei Bedarf werde ich auf weitere Bücher der Serie zurückgreifen.
