Ive bought many of the SAM Publications but I have always been dissappointed..... Nearly all the builds are substandard and with alot of just plain wrong information in the text, but thats just my opinion.

Chris,

Since you've been disapointed, does that mean you might want to get rid of any of your SAM Publications?

I'm interested in SAM Publications' Armor Data File 1: Operation Iraqi Freedom: The US Army - Stryker, Abrams & Bradley.

Thank you.

Most of what I have is the Magazines...... not that one, sorry. I may have misspoken since I wasn't thinking of that one. My experiences are with Scale Military Modeller International

Hi Chris in my experience there's a big difference between the magazine range and the paper back and other books.

I think that's to do with audience to some degree. The magazine has a wide audience base that covers casual modellers and beginners as well as experienced modellers.

The recent publications mentioned have been very interesting with some nice builds

I've been waiting for this book for a while the release date has been put back a few times so this is welcome news.
