What options are given in this book? You mention the decal options but not what they represent.

I'm sorry, I'm forgetful at times, and forgot to enclose the scan when I uploaded to Bill.
Here's the decals that came with mine. (Might be the revised part of the title)

Thanks David and Dave.

Seems the one Dave uploaded is the one which comes with this book. The sheet is identified as Photosniper 3, as is the book.
David's sheet is marked #18, so probably from the old book.

I bought the Polish edition of the book yesterday. And I'm angry now - Polish edition does not include any decals!!! Those posted by David were included with first Polish edition of the book, but the revised edition seems to include decals (those on Dave's image) only in export version

Dave, note that AFV Club kit of M5A1 should be released any day now and it would certainly be the one to build using the book as a reference, not ancient Tamiya one!

Thanks Pawel, I'll definitely look for the AFV one when it comes out.

That is music to my ears! Will be keeping a lookout Pawel. What a great idea to include decal options within the book. Hopefully it sets a trend, as I know how often I have looked at coloured plates and wondered where the heck I was going to get the decals for those versions...
Nice review David
