REVIEWS

"an excellent single point of reference on this unusual weapon of WW2. With the modeler in mind, tucked into the pages of the book, are a set of good clear 1/35 scale plans."
Military Modeling

"Having looked over this title I am very impressed with it, it provides everything I as a modeler could wish for and should allow a model to be built as accurately as any modeler should wish. The display options the period photographs will put into your mind make this worthy of consideration, the reference images and scale plans make it a must. Having looked at the scale drawings and with it taking up a sizable chunk of floor space, I see no other option than to say; if you have the model get the reference, the finished model should make the cost of this reference book irrelevant, yes it is that good."
