well, it's a very nice book. It starts with a lot of text, I was not used to that from Tankograd. Many pictures are about the tank on various manoevres. There is a walkaround of an early version in a museam and some scale drawing of the 1972 version and also a walkaround of this type.Some interior shots are also included. So i would say a little bit of everything. There are 2 pages about the IT-1 with 4 small pictures. if you want to use those for scratchbuilding, they are not really sufficient.

If you are worried about about a IT-1, Sergej (of SP Designs) is already looking to make a conversion for the Trumpeter kit. No idea of timelines and no work has been started that I know of.

Thanks guys,
I went ahead and ordered one. Jacques, I picked up (I guess old) SP Designs IT-1 for a Tamiya kit. That is good to hear though. Thanks all, Ryan
