Gents, I will have the MMiR Modellers Guide to the Tiger Tank in stock today, with more arriving later this week. If you would like to order, please PM me here on Armorama, or visit my site by clicking my banner below.
I got the advance copy, and it looks outstanding. Book is a must have for armor modellers who have any interest in the Tiger I/Tiger II.
Cheers !!

Hi. Mine just arrived in the mail yesterday. To say it's fantasitc is something of an understatement as far as I'm concerned.The picture quality is excellent, both in the war-time photos and shots of the models built. And the line drawing are very precise and clear as well. It's 172 pages of pure modelers' heaven for the particular AFV , both the Tiger I and II.
Quite actually it's worth getting even if you don't intend to build one of these kitties, as it's just a real good reference source for this vehicle and the modeling skills used to add all the 'extras' put out by the after-market folks for these kits. Skills that can be used on any model AFV, or other kit you may want to build now or down the road.
Super work folks. It was worth the wait. But lets hope it doesn't take as long to do the next 'modeler's guide', and still keep the quality of this one.
Take care, Sgirty

The Stug book was supposed to be next, but I saw somewhere that another book (can't remember the subject) was being put in it's place. It was ready for the printer and is supposed to be announced as soon as the Tiger book was out.

I picked mine up at the Richmond IPMS show, and it has inspired me to go out and do another tiger. I'm sure that this will cause a run on PE and models.
