Hello Dave,
I have this book , and I bought it in the UK, when on holidays, a long time ago. May I suggest, that you go to a book store that sells older , used , out of print books.I have bought numerous AFV Profiles , and the old Bellona Military Vehicle Prints ( these were popular in the '60's and '70's), at such stores . You will be amazed what you will find in such shops. Just take time and " snoop around". Take care , and I wish you well in your quest.

Those Ian Allen books are v difficult to find, even in second hand shops - took me years to find the one on the Leopard.

Frenchy,
My bank account curses you for putting up that link. There are so many books listed there that I'd given up hope of finding!

It's so-so. For someone who has nothing on the Cent, it's fine. If you already have the Squadron and Osprey titles, there isn't much new from a modeling standpoint.
