We like the StuG III – but obviously not as much as the peeps at Peko Publishing, as this is the fourth book in the "On The Battlefield" series to feature this particular vehicle. Will it stand up to the quality of the others in this series? Well, we read it, and we thought we would take you through this latest issue so you can see what's inside.

Valiant Wings Publishing expands one volume into two with Fighter and Sea Mossies
We like the Airframe and Miniatures books from Valiant Wings Publishing. The "all -in-one" approach to covering a subject is what we value the most – well this time it is "all—in-two" as they have split the Mosquito book into two volumes. The fighter and Sea Mossie book has just been released on pre-order – and we have some into about what's inside and how to save a few ducats...

Up for scrutiny today the new 35th scale 30.5CM Mörser "Bär“ with that massive gun on board via Amusing Hobby. As this behemoth never saw the light of day, there is sparse info to compare it with.
