Ampersand Tiger Book.

So we agree after all, thats nice
I agree its not a GREAT book, but its a good book considering the price.
Yes there are a few pics there that I haven't seen before either.
And yes I have seen the Iwata ad' in the last couple of FSM issues, and it looks fantastic..........I have always thought that the tiger in that ad' was a 1/16th scale because of the detail but if it is 1/35 then its unbelieveable.

Boy I hope you'll like the 503 book, but if you like books like "Tiger I & II combat tactics" by T.Jentz...........then you will LOVE this one........I think.......I hope

Monrad,
It's the same book and I am happy to have it in my colection. Though I highly value your opinion and recommendations, what prompted me to want this book was a post quite a while ago where there was a flurry of excitement over it's release.
The book is a nice compilation of info for, as you said, a quick reference.
It also contains a few pics I have yet to have seen that are worth the price right there.
Maybe my first post came across sounding harsher than I intended.
I only meant to comment about the builds featured.
If you have seen the Iwata Advert in one of the last two FSMs. The ad features the rear of a Tiger build by Dextras. Absolutely amazing. That has become the high standard for me.
I'm ordering 503 very soon, based on YOUR recommendation.

If it is the one I rewieved a month ago ( The modelers guide to the tiger tank ), then I would have to disagree.
I have 10 Tiger books, including those by T. Jentz ( you already knew that ausf ) but I find this book to be a helpful asset. I can use it as a quick reference.
I did say in my rewiev that there was nothing new in this book.

I think mr. Patrick A. Stansell's models are great, I have already learned from his tips and tricks.

Well ausf, we have agreed on alot of things in the past.........but I guess this book is not one of them. I am sorry if you bought it on my recomendation, but I still think its a good book.
