The 11th book in the 'Trackstory' series of monographs is about to be published.

Thanks for the news Jim, I went right over and ordered one. For those who are paying attention, there seems to have been a real re-think on French camo schemes. The usually depicted ochre colour seems totally absent from the colour profiles in the S35 book where it has been replaced by a bright-ish sea green. It seems many French tanks looked a lot different to what we had previously thought. For instance, the Vercengetorix scheme provided in the Tamiya Char B1 bis kit should have the ochre colour replaced by the sea green colour. Makes for a far more attractive camo scheme too. Cheers, TimTam27
