They are very good Andy, some photos are poorer quality as they were shot by squaddies 'in the field' but are included for other reasons than photographic skill; others come from more proficient photographers! There are many, many great ideas for dioramas! And, of course, they are a valuable historical record! I have two copies of No 22 (Desert) - PM me your address and you can have a belated Christmas 'gissit'!Great collection of pressies there Steve :smiling3:
I've been thinking of getting some of those Panzerwrecks books for some time now,they sound like interesting stuff..... And you've got quite a few to get through there mate :smiling3:

Thanks Richard for your helpNice haul Lee, as for the Sherman, the M4A3 is Tamiya's first Sherman kit so many would have built it. Its a rebox with the added figures.
The two boxes of figures are classic early Tamiya offerings and still are nice for dios with a little deeper engravings of the detail.
Cheers,
Richard
Thanks Jakko for you input on this kit as well when I build it I’ll remember thatI built that Sherman a few times in its original guise. Yours seems to identical aside from the tracks, figures and having more accessories. As Richard says, it was good for its day, and because it’s Tamiya it will still assemble easily — it’s just a bit dated now you can get much better-detailed Shermans from the likes of Asuka, Meng and Rye Field Model. Nothing major wrong with it except that you shouldn’t fit the additional armour plates on the hull sides unless you also change the engine deck and hull rear plate to those of an M4A2 :smiling3:


Always had a soft spot for these ugly beasts!!Bargain off ebay - £16 inc postage! Its a very nicely detailed kit , in typical late monogram fashion . The only area of the kit that needs improvement is ironically the most notable feature of the A10 , the gau 8 avenger gun . The kit part is unbelievably moulded integrally with each fuselage half , so not only has no vent holes but also a couple of nasty seams to deal with. So another £8 was spent on a beautiful aftermarket brass gun
Only jet i like, beast of a thing!Always had a soft spot for these ugly beasts!!
