Hey guys figured I'd throw this out there and see if anyone has a lead on the book Super King: Building Trumpeter's 1:16th Scale King Tiger by David Parker? I've talked the wife into not throwing a tantrum when I buy the Trumpter King Tiger and I'd LOVE to get the book to go along with it but I can't seem to find it any place.

Hi Jake and jackaloop

It's a superb book ..it is expensive ....but the pics and build infor are amazing ...but it's one modellers
view of how to build the kitty ....
you would be better off hitting a series of good model shops and magazine stores over a period of time and collecting and researthing and finding that one kitty u want to build ...

A detail book of drawings done my TROJCA ... found on a well know Web bidding site ...are just the best u can get ..and he also did a 1/16 set of drawings with serious detail ...as ate the books there packed with 1/35 drawings and info ...

Ouch, that's almost $85.00 without the shipping! :(

Mcevoyi, Yeah I've seen a few excerpts from the book and his work is amazing which is why I would have liked to have gotten it but you're both right its a tad expensive. :(
