"Modelling US Army Tank Destroyers of World War 2"
Is it available now ? I've pre-ordered it on Amazon and they now list it as "unavailable" with no future date of release...One strange thing is that the cover shown on Amazon website is different from the one pictured in Terry Ashley's review on PMMS

Whatever the final cover will be, I just hope this book will be available SOON !!! (Terry Ashley's review has made me put my M39 project back on the top of my "to-do" list)

Frenchy - order direct from Osprey Publishing. I got an availability notice from them via e-mail and ordered the book on Friday 10/1/04. It should arrive today in the mail. You can ask for advance notice on any of their upcoming titles and get them as soon as they are ready to ship.
Fastest way I've found is to click on their banner that they post on Missing Links' Forum Pages.

Gunnie-- on a totally unrelated to this thread subject, your M4 "Derby" is fantastic. Am amazing combination of skill and artistry. I would encourage all to visit Gunnies website and behold this beautiful creation.
Well done!
