Thanks!

Good review, Mario.

Given the many fine Hobby Boss kits of this vehicle family out on the market, the book is a welcome reference. Those kits are very fine, BTW, as you can see here:

Thanks to you Mario for the review and Bill for the reminder

This book looks quite interesting as a general reference. It is a kind of complement to late Dave Harper's AAV book.

I will probably pick this one up but would have been more excited if the recovery and MCLIC versions were featured a little better.

I enjoyed the review, but am wondering if there is another book that serves as a more complete technical and historical reference. I was a grunt in the late '80s and early '90s, so had the pleasure of a couple of "cruises" on tuna boats (so might one day build one) and wonder what is considered the definitive reference (perhaps with a focus on the configuration of this period; i.e., around the time of the introduction of the up-gunned turret). Anyone care to jump in and compare the book under review with whatever else might be available?
