This book, the first in the TankCraft series, uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the tanks and units of the German Army and Waffen-SS heavy panzer battalions that attempted to hold back the Red Army during 1944.     A large part of the book showcases available model kits and after market products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of the tanks that fought from the snow covered fields of Byelorussia and the Ukraine, through the Baltic States and into Poland and Hungary.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40781642727598,"sku":"9781473885349","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781473885349.jpg?v=1628128221"},{"product_id":"cromwell-and-centaur-tanks","title":"Cromwell and Centaur Tanks","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eCromwell and Centaur Tanks\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBritish Army and Royal Marines, North-west Europe 1944–1945\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eDennis Oliver\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e11.5\" x 9.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e200 color illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526725417\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781526725417\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eDesigned with the hard lessons of the North African campaign in mind, including the adoption of a dual-purpose gun capable of firing high-explosive and anti-tank rounds, the Cromwell was one of the most successful of the British cruiser tanks produced during the Second World War.The lack of heavy armor was made up for by the tank's high speed provided by a Rolls-Royce Meteor engine. The Centaur was externally almost identical to the Cromwell, the major difference being the installation of the less powerful Liberty engine. While the Centaur equipped the Royal Marines during the Normandy battles, the Cromwell served until the end of the war and formed the basis for the Comet.In his fifth book in the TankCraft series, author and illustrator Dennis Oliver uses official wartime photographs and comprehensively researched, exquisitely presented color profiles to tell the story of the penultimate British cruiser tank. In common with all the titles from the TankCraft series, the large full-color section features available model kits and accessories as well as after market products.In addition to the color profiles there is a gallery of expertly constructed and painted models. A separate section explains technical details and modifications made during production and in the field, giving the modeler all the information required to recreate an authentic replica of one of the tanks that served from the Normandy beaches to the final battles in Germany.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40781788283054,"sku":"9781526725417","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526725417.jpg?v=1628128856"},{"product_id":"centurion","title":"Centurion","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eCenturion\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eArmoured Hero of Post-War Tank Battles\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eRobert Jackson\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e150 color\/bw illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526741349\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781526741349\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eThe fifty-ton British Centurion tank, developed during the darkest days of the Second World War, was designed to outgun and outperform the latest German tanks, such as the formidable Panzer V Panther. It was one of the most successful tanks ever produced, and this volume in the TankCraft series by Robert Jackson is the ideal introduction to it.The Centurion came into service too late to test its ability in action with German armor, but in the postwar world it earned a fearsome reputation in action during the many conflicts of the Cold War era, from the Middle East to Vietnam.

The Centurion’s chassis was also adapted to fulfill a variety of tasks, including armored recovery, bridge-laying and guided weapons carrier.As well as tracing the history of the Centurion, Robert Jackson's book is an excellent source of reference for the modeler, providing details of available kits and photographs of award-winning models, together with artworks showing the color schemes applied to these tanks.

Its 120mm rifled main gun and advanced armor made it one of the most formidable tanks of its time, and Robert Jackson’s book is an authoritative introduction to it.Although it was intended to fight Soviet armor on the plains of northern Germany, it was in the heat and sand of the Middle East that the Chieftain fought its major battles during the Iran–Iraq War of the 1980s, and it proved to be very effective during the Gulf War of 1991. Variants of the Chieftain were exported to Iran, Oman, India, Kenya and Nigeria, and its chassis was adapted to fulfill a variety of tasks, including armored recovery and bridge-layingAs well as tracing the history of the Chieftain, Robert Jackson's work provides an excellent source of reference for the modeler, providing details of available kits and photographs of award-winning models, together with artworks showing the color schemes applied to these tanks.

Often they were deployed in difficult circumstances and in defensive battles, struggling against the odds. Nowhere was this more true than in western Europe during the Allied advance across France and into Germany, and it is the Tigers of this phase of the war that Dennis Oliver portrays in his third volume on the Tiger in the TankCraft series.He uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the Tiger tanks and units of the German Army and Waffen-SS heavy panzer battalions that struggled to resist the onslaught of Allied armor and air attacks during the last days of the conflict.A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic tanks.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40781850312878,"sku":"9781526741820","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526741820.jpg?v=1628129200"},{"product_id":"m1-abrams-1","title":"M1 Abrams","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eM1 Abrams\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe US's Main Battle Tank in American and Foreign Service, 1981–2019\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eDavid Grummitt\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e200 color illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526749758\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781526749758\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eSince its introduction in 1981, at the height of the Cold War, the Abrams main battle tank has been one of the most visible and iconic symbols of American military power, and it is the fascinating subject of this heavily illustrated historical and modelling guide in the TankCraft series by David Grummitt.Designed to meet head-on the massed tank forces of the Warsaw Pact, its combat debut in fact came in a different scenario in 1991 during the First Gulf War. Since then it has served in the peace-keeping role in the former Yugoslavia and seen combat in Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen. It has gone through a series of modifications and modernizations that see it set to remain the backbone of the US Army until at least 2050.As well as charting the development and combat history of the vehicle, the book is illustrated throughout with color photos and specially commissioned color profiles. Seven different models, covering the service history of the Abrams, are featured, as is a modelers' guide to the existing kits and accessories in all the popular scales.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40781871251630,"sku":"9781526749758","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526749758.jpg?v=1628129339"},{"product_id":"tiger-i-german-army-heavy-tank","title":"Pakwagen SDKFZ 234\/3 and 234\/4 Heavy Armoured Cars","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\" id=\"product-title\"\u003ePakwagen SDKFZ 234\/3\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eand 234\/4 Heavy Armoured Cars\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\" id=\"product-details\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003eDennis Oliver\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003e200 color \u0026amp; black and white illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\" id=\"product-barcode\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003e9781399065047\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\" id=\"product-sku\"\u003eItem No. 9781399065047\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\" id=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience in the Polish and French campaigns had convinced the German high command of the value of fast-moving, armed reconnaissance vehicles. But it was realized that many of the early designs were too lightly-armed and development of a heavy eight-wheeled prototype resulted in the Sdkfz 234 series of armored cars, the first of which entered service in late 1943. Built by the firm of Büssing-NAG, these sturdy and reliable vehicles were gradually up-armed and served in the infantry support role and eventually as tank killers, largely as the result of Hitler's desperation to arm as many vehicles as possible with anti-tank weapons. Drawing on official documentation and unit histories, Dennis investigates the formations that operated these vehicles and uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the Sdkfz 234\/2, 234\/3 and 234\/4 armored cars that served on the Western and Eastern Fronts in the last months of the war. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.

As the Wehrmacht’s tank forces declined, these armored vehicles were thrown into every defensive operation. They are not as well known as the Tigers and Panthers, but German resistance would have been much weaker without them. They were also among the most frequently encountered German armored vehicles on the battlefields, which is why they are such a fascinating subject for Dennis Oliver in this volume in the TankCraft seriesHe uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the StuG III and StuG IV deployed by the German army and the Waffen-SS during these doomed campaigns.

The Panther, perhaps the best armored vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War, was a key element in the Wehrmacht’s defensive tactics, in rearguard actions and counterattacks, and it took a prominent part in the last German offensive of the war, in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge.So it is an ideal subject for Dennis Oliver’s latest volume in the TankCraft series. He uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the Panther tanks and units of the German army and Waffen-SS panzer battalions that struggled to resist the Allied onslaught.A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic tanks.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40781883867310,"sku":"9781526755902","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526755902.jpg?v=1628129439"},{"product_id":"challenger-1","title":"Challenger 1","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eChallenger 1\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBritish Main Battle Tank of the Gulf War\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eRobert Griffin\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e100 color \u0026amp; black and white illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526756534\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781526756534\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eDuring the 1980s and early 1990s the Challenger 1 main battle tank played a central role in Britain’s armored forces and it achieved remarkable success in combat, destroying around 300 Iraqi tanks in the Gulf War.

Hastily assembled and short-lived these independent Panzer brigades nevertheless served on both fronts in some of the fiercest fighting of the conflict. The real striking power of the initial units would a battalion equipped with the Pzkpfw V Panther, perhaps the most effective armored vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War. In Dennis Oliver's latest volume in the TankCraft series he uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the Panther battalions of the Panzer brigades that fought to hold back the Allied advance during the last months of 1944. A key section of his book displays available model kits and after-market products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.

From early 1944 these vehicles were allocated to the anti-tank battalions of Panzer and Panzergrenadier divisions and saw action in Normandy, the Ardennes and the final battles in Germany. In his latest book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses contemporary photographs and meticulously researched, superbly presented color and monochrome illustrations to tell the story of these self-propelled anti-tank guns and the units which operated them in the German defense of the Western Front. As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this work showcases available model kits and after-market products, complemented by a gallery of expertly constructed and painted models.

During the last four decades it has undergone numerous upgrades and modifications to ensure it remains one of the most powerful tanks operating today. It currently serves with the armies of seventeen nations, from Canada to Turkey and including many European states.The Leopard 2 is also a popular subject for modelers which is why David Grummitt’s highly illustrated expert guide is so valuable. As well as describing in detail the Leopard 2’s design, development and combat history, he gives a full account of the wide range of modeling kits and accessories available in all the popular scales.

Such was its prowess that the Viet Cong gave it the nickname Green Dragon on account of its ability to go virtually anywhere.Its groundbreaking aluminum hull gives the M113 a relatively low weight of 12ts, this allows it to be easily transported by air and gives it an amphibious ability. The design was also easy to modify and can carry a range of support and indirect fire weapons. From mortars to ballistic missiles, the M113 spawned a progeny of useful and innovative vehicles.The base M113 is lightly armored and safe against only the lightest of small arms fire and shell splinter. As a result a range of up-armor packages have been used in the past, from sandbags to complex appliqué armur.80,000 M113s of all types have been produced and are in use with over 50 countries, making it one of the most widely used armored fighting vehicles to be produced. Indeed such was its popularity that the US bought their final M113s in as late as 2007.The M113 was designed and developed by the Food Machinery Corporation (FMC) to replace the heavier and less reliable steel-bodied M59 and M75 armored personnel carriers. It was specifically designed to be lighter, air-portable and have amphibious capability. Carrying a crew of two, driver and commander, who manned the M113’s only weapon, a .50cal machine gun, the M113 would transport 11 soldiers into combat before withdrawing to the rear.Powered initially by a V8 petrol engine the M113 would be continuously up-engined throughout its frontline and subsequent rear support lifespan. Changes included improved suspension, smoke dischargers and externally fitted fuel tanks. Other changes have included armored commander’s turrets and slat armor.This LandCraft title looks at the M113s development where the FMC sought to utilize its chassis into as many roles as possible, from smoke generators to flamethrowers. The book also looks at how the M113 was adapted for use by numerous overseas customers and how these are upgraded to suit local conditions.Finally the title looks at the M113’s changing roles in the more sophisticated contemporary battlescape and how it’s still providing service in theaters across the world in a variety of roles, both combat and support.For the modeler there is nothing more important than the little things and this image-rich section of Land Crafts M113 title delivers the goods. Filled with crisp photos that show the M113’s many details, combined with helpful accompanying text, forms an enviable visual guide for the enthusiast and modeler alike.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40782007107758,"sku":"9781526789778","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526789778.jpg?v=1628130150"},{"product_id":"sdkfz-251-251-9-and-251-22-kanonenwagen","title":"SDKFZ 251 – 251\/9 and 251\/22 Kanonenwagen","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eSDKFZ 251 – 251\/9 and 251\/22 Kanonenwagen\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eGerman Army and Waffen-SS Western and Eastern Fronts, 1944–1945\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eDennis Oliver\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e200 color \u0026amp; black and white illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526791146\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781526791146\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eThe Sdkfz 251 halftrack was one of the most versatile armored vehicles produced by either side in the Second World War. Designed by the firm of Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG, or Hanomag, production ran to over 15,000 vehicles and it was eventually built as twenty-three separate variants serving as not only a personnel carrier, but also a command vehicle, mobile rocket launcher, armored ambulance and bridge-layer.In his first book in the LandCraft series Dennis Oliver examines the Sdkfz 251 variants armed with the 7.5cm gun, initially used as an infantry support and reconnaissance halftrack and later as a tank killer as the result of Hitler's desperation to arm as many vehicles as possible with antitank weapons. Drawing on official documentation and unit histories Dennis investigates the formations that operated these deservedly famous vehicles and uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the Sdkfz 251\/9 and 251\/22 halftracks that served on the Western and Eastern Fronts in the last months of the war.A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined, providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic tanks.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40782009663662,"sku":"9781526791146","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526791146.jpg?v=1628130170"},{"product_id":"hetzer-jagdpanzer-38-tank-destroyer","title":"Hetzer - Jagdpanzer 38 Tank Destroyer","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eHetzer - Jagdpanzer 38 Tank Destroyer\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eGerman Army and Waffen-SS Western Front, 1944–1945\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eDennis Oliver\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e200 color \u0026amp; black and white illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526791184\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781526791184\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eBy 1944 the German army was on the defensive on all fronts and Allied bombing was putting increasing pressure on the nation's industrial output. Since the earliest days of the war the Germans had experimented with mounting anti-tank weapons on obsolete chassis and one of the most successful of these would prove to be the Jagdpanzer 38, more often referred to today as the Hetzer. Small and unimposing the Hetzer's appearance belied its effectiveness. Armed with the powerful 7.5cm L\/48 gun, the same weapon fitted to the Jadgpanzer IV, the Hetzer featured armour sloped armour plates of up to 60mm thickness and was capable of a top speed of 42 kilometres per hour. Almost 3,000 examples were assembled and its low cost and ease of production meant that it was Germany's most important tank killer of the late war period.

The Wehrmacht's armored and mobile formations were now employed exclusively as fire brigades, rushed from one crisis to the next as the Red Army pushed inexorably westward. Critical to the German defense were the army's heavy Panzer battalions whose Tiger tanks, with their 8.8 cm guns, were almost invincible on the open plains of central Europe. In his latest book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the Tiger tanks and units of the German Army and Waffen-SS heavy Panzer battalions that struggled to resist the onslaught of Soviet armor during the last days of the conflict which culminated in the battle for Berlin.

As the Wehrmacht scrambled to hold what ground it could many formations simply disappeared and the available armored units were used to plug the gaps in the front line. One of the most important elements of the defense was the newly raised IV.SS-Panzerkorps which contained the veteran Totenkopf and Wiking divisions. Although both were well equipped their real striking power lay in the battalion of Pzkpfw V Panther tanks with which each was outfitted, perhaps the most effective armored fighting vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War. In Dennis Oliver's latest volume in the TankCraft series, he uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the Panther battalions of these famous units that fought to hold back the Soviet advance during the last months of 1944. A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.

Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also explained as is the complex system of markings employed by British armored regiments.

There could have been no finer accolade from a commander whose panzer divisions experienced the full fury of its devastating attacks on the Eastern Front. Without doubt, the T-34 was one of the best tanks of all time, and in this volume in the TankCraft series Robert Jackson tells its story. He describes its conception in the 1930s, its development during the Second World War, and its postwar deployment to over thirty countries within the Soviet sphere of influence.His book is an excellent reference work for the modeler, providing details of available kits, together with artworks showing the color schemes applied to the T-34 by its operators throughout the world.

It played a key role in the armored battles fought on the Western Front, in particular in France, the Low Countries, Germany and Italy.Built on an adapted Sherman chassis, with sloped armor, an open-topped turret and powerful 17-pounder gun, it was designed to counter the threat posed by the formidable panzers deployed by the German army toward the end of the conflict, in particular the Panther and Tiger tanks.The book covers the design and operational history of the Achilles in close detail, using rare archive photographs and meticulously researched color illustrations, as well as a detailed, authoritative text.A key section displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic armored fighting vehicles.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40964299915438,"sku":"9781526741905","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526741905.jpg?v=1629410308"},{"product_id":"m60","title":"M60","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\" id=\"product-title\"\u003eM60\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\" id=\"product-subtitle\"\u003eMain Battle Tank America's Cold War Warrior 1959-1997\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\" id=\"product-details\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003eDavid Grummitt\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003e100 color \u0026amp; 100 black and white illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\" id=\"product-barcode\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\" class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"product-detail-text\"\u003e9781399096454\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\" id=\"product-sku\"\u003eItem No. 9781399096454\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\" id=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the Allied armies landed on the Normandy beaches on 6 June 1944 the backbone of the armored reaction force awaiting them was made up of 758 Pzkpfw IV tanks, a number which represents almost half the fully-tracked vehicles available for the defence of the West. The first models of these tanks had entered service in November 1937 and although replacements had been considered, the original design was continually up-gunned and up-armoured. Perhaps lacking the glamour of the Panther and Tiger, the most recent variant, the Pzkpfw IV ausf H, was at least the equal of the best British and American tanks. Drawing on official documentation and unit histories Dennis Oliver investigates the formations that operated these deservedly famous vehicles and uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the Pzkpfw IV tanks that served on the Western Front during the critical summer of 1944. A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.

These compact, maneuverable and fast-moving light tanks played a significant peace-keeping role in conflict zones around the world and went into action during wars in the Falklands, the Gulf and Iraq. They are also a popular subject with tank modelers and enthusiasts which is why David Grummitt�s expert history and guide is such a valuable source of reference.As well as describing in detail their technical development and operational history, he gives a full account of the wide range of modeling kits and accessories available in all the popular scales. Included is a modeling gallery which features six builds covering a range of Scorpions and Scimitars serving with different nations and a section of large-scale color profiles which provide both information and inspiration for modelers and military enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42892513706158,"sku":"9781526774149","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526774149_8d15d48d-72ac-47cf-aa56-86ed24394eda.jpg?v=1652561648"},{"product_id":"panzer-iv-1","title":"Panzer IV  1939-1945","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003ePanzer IV 1939-1945\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaul Thomas\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e150-200 color and b+w illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: #ff3d3d; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526711281\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781526711281\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Panzer IV – Panzerkampfwagen IV – was one the foremost German fighting vehicles of the Second World War, and this volume in the TankCraft series is an ideal introduction to it.

But in early 1944, with the landings at Anzio and Nettuno and the attempt to bypass the German defensive line, the Wehrmacht’s high command began shipping heavier and more powerful tanks to the Southern Front including an increasing number Tigers and Panthers. The initial models of the latter had gone into combat for the first time in July 1943 and it was planned that every Panzer regiment would eventually contain a battalion of these impressive vehicles. Drawing on official documentation and unit histories Dennis Oliver investigates the formations that operated these deservedly famous vehicles and uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the Pzkpfw V tanks that wee an integral part of the German defense of the Italian peninsula. A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.

But the part played by the British commonwealth armored units in the Italian campaign is less well known and in his latest volume in the TankCraft series Dennis Oliver uses wartime photos, extensively researched text and highly-detailed color illustrations to cover the Sherman tanks of the Canadian, New Zealand and South African armies that battled their way up the Italian peninsula. Although it was often out-gunned by its opponents the Sherman’s ability to handle the worst terrain and its mechanical reliability ensured that it was at the forefront of every battle and contributed greatly to the final Allied victory. Examined in this book are both the 75mm armed version and the potent tank killer referred to toady as the Firefly, as well as a number of little-known field modifications. A large part of this work showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.

In World War II the United States made good use of self-propelled howitzers, including those based on the chassis of the M4 Sherman tank. After 1945 the US developed both light and medium self-propelled howitzers, based on the M24 Chaffee, M41 Walker Bulldog and Sherman chassis. The first designs were plagued with problems and self-propelled artillery played only a minor role in the Korean War. By the mid 1960s, however, the M107 175mm, M109 155mm and M110 203mms self-propelled howitzers had entered service, and they proved their effectiveness during the Vietnam War. The M107 was relatively short-lived in US service, being retired in the late 1970s, but it played an important role with the Israel defense Forces. The M109 served with the US Army, as well as in many NATO armies and elsewhere, and saw action in the Middle East, in the Balkans, during the liberation of Kuwait, and in the invasion of Iraq. The M109 has now been in service for some sixty years and remains, in the guise of the M109A7, the current self-propelled howitzer of the US Army. The larger M110 203mm self-propelled howitzer similarly saw widespread service before it was retired in the early 1990s. Despite the emergence of rocket artillery, such as the Multiple Launch Rocket System, the self-propelled howitzer will remain one of the principal weapons systems of US military in the decades to come.The M107, M109 and M110 have proved popular subjects among modelers with a variety of kits available from the major manufacturers. As well as describing in detail the technical development and operational history of these guns, this book gives a full account of the wide range of modeling kits and accessories available in all the popular scales. Included is a modeling gallery which covers a range of variants and a section of large-scale color profiles which provide both information and inspiration for modelers and military enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid #ffffff; height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44194304491694,"sku":"9781399040518","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399040518.jpg?v=1694647336"},{"product_id":"panzer-iv-medium-tank-german-army-and-waffen-ss-last-battles-in-the-west-1945","title":"Panzer IV Medium Tank: German Army and Waffen-SS Last battles in the West, 1945","description":"            \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003ePanzer IV Medium Tank: German Army and Waffen-SS Last battles in the West, 1945\u003c\/h1\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.3\" x 11.7\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e100 color illustrations, 100 mono illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399033848\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781399033848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally developed to support the infantry formations of the Germany's armored divisions, the Pzkpfw IV medium tank was increasingly pressed into service as a tank killer as stronger and more well-armored enemy vehicles were encountered. By the end of 1943, despite the appearance of the Tiger and Panther, it could be said that the Pzkpfw IV was the most important tank, at least numerically, in the Wehrmacht's arsenal. Mechanically reliable and relatively cheap to produce the tank's large wheel base and turret circumference meant that it could be up-gunned with minimal disruption to production and adapted to a number of different roles including self-propelled anti-tank gun, anti-aircraft tank, bridgelayer and armored recovery vehicle. Although assembly of the Pzkpfw IV was officially terminated in late 1944, as the tank had fallen out of favour with Hitler, production was soon resumed and continued until the final days of the conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Dennis Oliver's latest volume in the TankCraft series he uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the later models of the Pzkpfw IV tank and the units that operated this deservedly famous armored vehicle during the savage defensive battles against the Soviet army on the Eastern Front in the last months of the war.

Evolving from a mobile bunker-buster, armed with a short-barrelled howitzer, the Sturmgeschütz III was up-armoured and up-gunned and by 1943 its tank killing abilities were widely recognised. In 1944, largely as an emergency quick-fix, the Sturmgeschütz IV entered service and over 10,000 examples of both versions had been built by the end of the war.

The 15cm-armed Brummbär, built on the chassis of the ever-reliable Pzkpfw IV, was rendered obsolete by developments in man-portable anti-tank weapons and so the decision was made to mount an even more powerful gun on the suspension and hull of the Tiger I tank. The original intention was to equip the new design with a 21cm howitzer but as sufficient stocks were unavailable a specially adapted version of the Kriegsmarine's 38cm depth charge rocket launcher was employed. Hitler expected great things from these imposing looking vehicles and ordered that vast stocks of ammunition be produced but in the event less than twenty Sturmmörserwagen 606\/4 mit 38cm RW 61, better known as the Sturmtiger, were built. Drawing on official documentation and unit histories Dennis Oliver investigates the formations that operated these deservedly famous vehicles and uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the Sturmtigers that fought in the last battles of the war.

Evolving from a mobile bunker-buster, armed with a short-barrelled howitzer, the Sturmgeschütz was up-armoured and up-gunned and by 1943 it was increasingly employed as a tank killer. In 1944, largely as an emergency quick-fix, the Sturmgeschütz IV entered service and over 1,000 examples had been built by the end of the war. As the Wehrmacht’s resources continued to decline the assault guns were thrown into every operation and increasingly substituted for gun tanks in official unit establishments. In the third volume in the TankCraft series to examine the Sturmgeschütz, Dennis Oliver employs official documentation and unit histories to investigate the formations that operated the Sturmgeschütz IV and uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the vehicles that served on the Eastern Front during the last months of the campaign.

As infantry units scrambled to hold makeshift defensive positions the mobile Panzer battalions were the only formations that were able to plug the increasing number of gaps in the frontline. One of the most important weapons in the Wehrmacht's arsenal at that time was the Pzkpfw V Panther tank which had gone into combat for the first time in July 1943. Armed with a powerful 7.5cm main gun, these tanks were capable of penetrating the armour of the strongest Soviet designs and it was planned that every Panzer regiment would eventually contain a battalion of these impressive vehicles. In his latest volume in the TankCraft series Dennis Oliver continues the story of these remarkable vehicles using archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the Panther battalions that fought to hold back the Red Army's push to the borders of Germany during 1944. A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeller needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486120263854,"sku":"9781036140588","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/ea0ffa99e60254c9aca70b4dc166e138.jpg?v=1770757349"},{"product_id":"tank-craft-49-panther-medium-tank-german-army-and-waffen-ss-units-berlin-1945","title":"Tank Craft 49 Panther Medium Tank: German Army and Waffen-SS Units - Berlin, 1945","description":"\u003ch3 id=\"product-headline-1\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eNEW RELEASE!

Battered regiments were rebuilt and new units were created and the real striking power of the Panzer battalions was now the Pzkpfw V Panther, perhaps the most effective armoured vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Dennis Oliver's latest volume in the TankCraft series he uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the later models of the Pzkpfw V Panther tank and the units that operated this deservedly famous armoured vehicle during the savage defensive battles against the Soviet army during the last weeks of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.
