The Factory Publishing are an Australian publishing house who are specializing in documenting the Colors & Markings of armored vehicles. They've already had a list of new releases on their website for a while but they've just updated with more detail...
Today I got my copy of Factory Publishing's first book The New Breed Part 1 and satisfying as it is, being the kind of person I am, I wanted more.

Checking out their website, I found these:

Under The Gun 1 - Allied Tanks in Tunisia

Under The Gun 2 - Panzers in the Bocage

North Irish Horse - In North Africa and Italy, (Campaign Series)

Cromwell & Centaur - (Colour and Markings Series)

Commonwealth Shermans in Italy

Hermann Göring - Panzer Division in Sicily, (Campaign Series)


Before you get TOO excited (as I was reaching for my Credit Card) these are all planned FUTURE releases. However the fact that they've got the covers on their website (hopefully) means they're coming pretty soon.

UPDATE 11/3/08 I had an e-mail from Factory Publishing today. The
the Hermann Goring Division book is at the printers now and is expected to be in stock in the next week or so. The Shermans in the Far East book is almost finished with NEW (and previously unpublished images in the process of being added). A range of DECALS (based on the subjects in the books is being prepared by Bison Decals. The company are also hoping that the Under The Gun , Panzers in the Bocage will be out before Christmas...

Meanwhile, for their existing titles and more details on the future releases, check out their website:
