Concord Publications have released eighth book in ASSAULT: Journal of Armored & Heliborne Warfare series.
New book has 48 pages, 133 color photos and 1/35 scale plan.
According to Concord website the book contains these articles:
1) Leopard 2A6
The Bundeswehr is currently fielding the potent Leopard 2A6 in its panzertruppe. The Leopard 2A6 is a result of two separate combat improvement programs. The KWS I focused on increasing firepower by the integration of the new, longer L55 gun barrel. The Leopard 2A6 will equip many European tank battalions as well in future.
2) The 54th Engineer Battalion (C) (M) "Dagger" Battalion
Today's engineer battalion is equipped with remote controlled mine-detecting and -clearing vehicles, armored vehicle launched bridges, dump trucks, armored earthmovers, and rocket-propelled explosive line charges to name just a few. The 54th Engineer Battalion was attached to the 3rd Infantry Division while in Iraq.
3) M1 Panther II Mine Detection and Clearing Vehicle
The US Army employed the old IP M1 Abrams hulls for the production of the M1 Panther II for mine detection and clearing purpose. Both the Mine Clearing Blade (MCB) and the Mine Clearing Roller (MCR) can be attached to the Panther II. With the Panther II, the US Engineers received the first tank specially built to detect and clear mines.
4) Urban Camouflage of the French Armor
The French is developing a new camouflage scheme for their armor in urban warfare. This new camouflage scheme consists of large squares of two shades of gray, one of ochre and one sand-colored tan shade of paint.
5) 1/35 scale profile of M1A1 Abrams in "Iraqi Freedom"

As you can see this seems to be another very interesting publication from Concord. It is also very timely release with the article about M1 Panther II vehicle, as Trumpeter just recently released a model of it and Dragon announced their version as well.
