Hi!

The book has lots of details, but IMO it covers mostly what is not needed to be updated on the Bronco kit.
The photos were taken of trainig vechicles in quite different configuration, than real combat vechicles, with lots of rust and mud on, obviously not in desert conditions, so not too helpful on weathering either (except a few photos).
The vechicles have different side engine grills and no serial number on the back of the chassis, so they seem to be early versions, but with led floodlights, air hoose on the crane, which are later modifications.
The interior details are nice, but eg. the dashboard is completely different of what I've seen. I hoped for info on electronics configuration in the interior - what I find the most difficult to figure out seeing different racks and devices, national variations (if any?) and the complex hydraulics on the crane.

All in all, a good book, but it did not give me the definiate answers I was looking for.

Hope it helps!
