French Tank Drawings

Doubling from 2T:

French official portal. Seems to be an Army remembrance site.
Dozens of older/experimental tank Drawings published.
Markings, R35, Panther, M4 etc. etc.
Some very interesting drawings that look like work on upgrading Panther & (maybe) Sherman postwar.

Worth a look.

Plans de véhicules blindés - Faire une recherche - Mémoire des hommes

 

Nice find.

Going to have to peruse this one later at home.

 

Well, I am a sucker for drawings, especially military. I, too, need to go over these. Did not the French " inherent" a 100 or so Panthers and put them into service. I wonder what , if any, modifications were done.....Some of these may have been prototypes. .

 

The French Panthers have always intrigued me, Gaines. (Hence this old thread on 2T: French Panthers & Spanish '88's )
They are after all the people who assessed its gearbox as only good for 150km between rebuilds.
Sadly, info on them is still somewhat scattered & sketchy, so even the basic drawings here are quite satisfying to see.
Things like the up-armoured and very Panther-like ''Char de superiorité' & what looks like a 120mm Jagdpanther are even quite exciting.

The drawing viewer is a little clunky, so am going to have to do a little work to get the postwar Panther stuff a bit clearer in my head
