The modeler's guide to the tiger tank
I can thoroughly recommend this to anyone interested in middling either the tiger 1 or tiger 2. Starts with historical perspective with great wartime photos and interesting notes from commanders diaries. Then tank is describebed in detail with drawings in detail for each variant produced. Also many drawings of individual parts. Wish I had this earlier. Colour photos in the middle section. Techniques got weathering painting and general construction,tools, zimmerit.
Rivet counters dream.
Good luck finding a copy.

No, They are not. I called them. It says within 4 weeks. They said that means most likely never.

Hope you get it. Went through for me too. Just when I phoned the shop they said it was unlikely to arrive.
Good luck. It is the best I've seen. Luck for me I could'nt get it from WH Smith as I ended up getting it for Half the price.

Looks like it's the paperback version but still worth getting.

Re: The modeler's guide to the tiger tank
I went and collected a copy of the book from Barbarossa books today. He has about a dozen left. The guy was most helpful and ordered me another book from the publishers while I was there, and provided me with tea and biscuits!
They don't like it up 'em, you know sir! They don't like it up 'em!
