I've been lucky enough to Review the first couple of books in Xtreme Modeliing's series Elements in Combat. Both of which dealt with Diorama techniques. This New book however, is going in a slightly different direction.

Elements in combat # 3 - Tiger & Variants

This third book of the company's themed modelling books "Elements in Combat" is dedicated to the German Tiger I and Sturmtiger. In addition to the photos of the models, the book includes step by step articles that show how to build, modify and weather some of the many models available of this German tank.

So, do we REALLY need another book on the Tiger? The answer, (coming from a NON Tiger-Holic) is yes. The Tiger (and its variants) STILL remains a very popular modeling subject and, surprisingly enough, there HAVEN'T been all that many books on on actualy modeling the vehicle.

So, what about the contents? The book is split into three sections: dealing with three different Variants: The 'Initial', the 'Late' and the Sturmtiger. The chapter headings make this clearer:
