Calling on the Brain Trust that Resides Here

Post by SCHWEREPANZER »

Hi All,

Having a brain freeze here, but I can'tell recall the name of the publication series that many rely on for the very detailed line drawings which differentiate the smallest changes in different models of any given tank. The series is published in Japan and the text is in Japanese. The series is considered the "bible" by many as the source for clear, crisp drawings that detail design differences. This publication is not Panzer Tracts, but something different.

So, gents, any thoughts?

Thanks All

They are indeed pretty decent books and ive used them on my P3, P4, Stugs and Panthers over the last couple of years.
Still trying to get hold of one for the Tiger.

Cheers

Hey Tim,

Know what you mean about the Achtung Panzer Tiger edition. I've passed on purchasing it a few times because of price, but now can kick myself as it doesn't turn up that often for sale.

Good hearing from you. Hope all is well.

Best,

Ralph
