I will gladly take advice from any source when it comes to building my Tanks BUT there is no substitute for experiance, I would be surprised if a combination of GOOGLE and this Forum could not provide the answers to any questions I might have on any build. Is the book interesting ? If yes then I might put my money down, if not then the Status quo prevails. :thumbup: shaun

Shaun, the book is excellent.

David Parker (editor of AFV Modeller - now Meng AFV Modeller) takes his up-grade of the Trumpeter Tiger II to the MAX.

There's also a decent section with contemporary photos and a load of shots of surviving tanks including the one being restored top to bottom and inside / out in Switzerland.

Many evenings good reading, rest assured!

Oh no not more expence! Having read some AFV Modellers, I know the depth of information that is revealed by them, so with your endorsement it looks like I shall be spending some of my hard earned on a book which the lady in my life will almost certainly critisise because it has no knitting patterns or recipes or helpful advise on caring for an ever increasing army of incredibly expensive Grandchildren :/ shaun

Now, now Shaun. That's really not fair. Knitting patterns are great.

Haven't you seen these?
