The publisher for French Armor subjects 'par exellence', Editions du Barbotin, have just announced a very welcome title in their 'Focus' Series.

Focus # 6: Panhard 178

Covers the widely used French Armored Car in both French AND Axis service. Produced in collaboration of the French Saumur Tank Museum, the book follows the usual format for the series with 15 pages illustrated with plans and unpublished period photos. Of particular value are the photos of preserved examples in Saumur - including rarely seen INTERIOR images. As an added bonus, the book also includes commisioned color profiles. The price is another bonus - only 9.95 €uros..

Well, nice as academic coverage of an interesting subject, but at the end of the day, how useful will it be for modelers?

Fortunately, the next few months is going to see Masterbox Ltd. release a couple of versions of the Panhard 178 in injection-moulded styrene which will really add interest to the book.
