Panther ausf D or A

I'm interrested on building a plastic model of a panther exploded by
its own crew; I bought a conversion kit to do this and i'm interrested
on do the ausf A early type exploded. I thought that a good choice
would be to have a Panther of the "grossdeutschland" division on the
eastern front semi-covered by snow. I know that the D version had a
lot of failures at the first days of the new panther and there a lot
of example of self destroyed tanks, but i would preffer to do the A
early type, that rare version of a D hull (slap for the machine gun)
and the A cast cupola (also know in some books as late D type). I
would like to know if the grossdeutschland division had also early A
tanks on their files on the eastern front and i would like also if
some one has a picture of one of them or just some examples of wrecked
panthers (by enemy fire, or exploded by its own crew...). Actually i'm
planning the construction of this kit, but i don't know when i'll be
able to do it...at this moment i'm working on a sdkfz 251/9 ausf D
after battle if someone one is interrested. Thanks for all your help,
any help will be greateful. If some one want to contact me, please do
