in review…PeKo Publishing - Sturmgeschütz III on the Battlefield
Popular
with the soldiers who fought with and inside it – the Sturmgeschütz III was

Now THIS is large scale modelling folks! HK Models B-17G Flying Fortress test kit - our thoughts so far…

Massive amounts of conjecture surround the colours of German
Vehicles used towards the end of the war. Some people are very sure they know
the answer but the rest of us are still asking questions. What we need is a
book full of profiles to help us better make an educated guess on what colours
to use – ohh – there is? and AK
Interactive have the paint set to match? Let’s have a look at them..
