I must say that it is a pretty impressive book - starts with the M41 Walker Bulldog, then goes through early light tank development (including the T92 - a nifty lookin tank) then of course the Sheridan (includes a good photo showing the laser range finder and the TTS on a Desert Storm M551A1). Then goes onto a "replacement" for the Sheridan - which really hasn't happened yet (but does cover the HSVT and the CCV).

Then a surprise (for me) - the book then goes on into other light armor vehicles, including the Ontos and M42 Duster among others - and then goes into the Light Howitzer vehicles - including the M109, M107 and the M110. Plus some info on recovery and auxillary vehicles based on the above chassis...

Also has a good set of colored photos in the back.

I recommend it (for what my recommendation may be worth!)

later

What scale is that kit?

It's 1/24 scale, rather large kit.
