Thanks!

I really like the Osprey "Modeling" series and this book will be a must have when it hits the shelves. I have the author's 75mm book, along with his Stuart and US Tank Destroyers books and they are among my most uses sources. I agree with your theory that the idea behind these books is to give inspiration and ideas to modelers of all levels.

I think you need a small edit. The E8 had the HVSS, not the VVSS suspension.

Thanks Rodger - I guess it's too much M4 data in too little time

Thanks for the review,

I like the Sherman volumes in this series a lot. Especialy as there's no "Panzertracts", "Achtung Panzer", or anything similar for Sherman tanks. The combination of good modeling and solid historical technical info is a winner, and is something long overdue.

Btw, could you tell me if there's a list of registration numbers by type/ manufacturer in the book, similar to the one in the 75mm volume?

Thanks for an excellent review.
Osprey has come out with some very interesting titles in its modelling series, but this one is at the top of my list of must-haves.
