FirstRead
The Panzer Tracts line of books has until recently, only been
available from overseas. It is welcome then, that a local importer
has seen fit to include them in their catalogue. The line of books
are basically production histories of German vehicles used in the
Second World War. They are considered by many to be the last word in
any accurate investigation into a particular type of German vehicle.
This soft cover book covers the Panzerkampfwagen II and is 56 pages
in length.
It contains 41 black and white photographs with some quite rare
interior shots. There is a complete sequence of shots of the famous
“4121” Luchs which include both side, front, rear and an overhead
shot. In the latter half of the book photos of the extremely rare
“VK29” Luchs (which looks like a mini Panther Tank). The book
includes 18 pages of scale plans in 1/35th;1/24th and 1/10th scales
that contribute and enhance this factually rewarding book.
This book impressed me and I’d recommend anyone with an interest in
either building the Tasca “Luchs” or the Alan Panzerkampfwagen II in
1/35 scale to obtain it for a more accurate and concise build.
Highly Recommended.
Thanks to
