Ideal timing for this new book by Peter Brown as there has been recent news of new models set to be released of both the A9 and A10 tanks from a new plastic kit manufacturer, Gecko Models...I expect modellers to absolutely love it., This fascinating volume offers plenty of inspiration and detail, regardless of a modeller's experience level; the comprehensive captions should ensure an accurate build at the very least., Perfectly timed to coincide with the release of Gecko Models' new kits...It really is a goldmine of information and modelling inspiration., For a soft cover book, production simply doesn't get any better... Highly recommended for anyone who desires a solid reference on the developmental and operational history of the A9 and A10 cruiser tanks.
