Panther F

Anyone have any reference pictures of the rear column light & shield for the Panther and or Jagdpanther? All I have found is this one and I'd like to get a better idea of how to duplicate it. Even a scale drawing would be great. I have looked through 1/2 of my books and yet to find anything close to this.

Any ideas? Thanks!

That's a Notek tail light, the Panther is an Ausf. G, so this must be an on-field emergency solution.
Here you have some images of the Notek Kolonnenlicht, remember the convoy formation lights were green.

Does this help? Is this what you are looking for? It came out of a Squadron walk around publication for the Stug III ausf G.

Panther F

Okay, thanks guys. I guess what I am looking at in my photo I provided is a field mod notek lamp because no other Panther has anything like this but just the exposed bulb or a deflector wrapped around the glass itself.

I found more by searching under 'convoy' lighting instead of 'column' lighting. Guess it's just a big misnomer, huh.

Thanks to all that replied. Now time to go clean my PC of all the 3 hours of cookies!

interesting...I thought they all used the later lights, like the one in Rex's lower right.  BTW...Tank Modellbau sells a working one of those in their Tiger section.
