Panda Commander Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Re the Kampfraumheizung on a late Panther G: Am I right in assuming that the crew could manually select how many "pie slices" (in geometry, "sectors") were fitted to the top of the tower to control the heat output, and that spare "pie slices" were clipped together by the side of the tower? In this image, have the crew fitted two sectors, and clipped the remaining four beside the tower for future use? (I have Panther: External Changes and the Canfora Panther book; neither seems to make this clear).

Thanks for that, although it adds another question: The brass set l have includes parts for both the Kampfraumheizung and the sliding louvres, yet your source states that any given tank would have either one or the other, not both. Back to the books... Panda Commander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Browne Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Perhaps they are cover plates? Can you post a photo of what you have? Have you seen this? https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/panther-g-kampfraumheizung-t321867.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen this? https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/panther-g-kampfraumheizung-t321867.html The Part 1/48 Panther brass gives me parts for everything ringed below: My question: Is this correct? Would an individual Panther have had: a) The kampfraumheizung tower, AND; b) Sliding louvres over all the rectangular air vents, left and right? c) One pair of the sliding louvres (over the left or right hand side?) I am modelling "red 302" of 9 Pz. Div: - which is apparently an MNH Panther from early November 1944.

Peter Browne Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 For what it's worth, this Panther G seems to have the pie slices and the rectangular 'slides', which I think were only fitted on the right hand side....
