Så er de langt om længe klar til udgivelse. Det er jo fedt, for så ved jeg allerede hvilken serie jeg skal bygge når jeg er færdig med mine 8 Pz. IV.
Forventet færdig fra trykning om lidt over to uger, så jeg bestiller på mandag. Bestillinger til mig senest søndag d. 16/11.
Heldigvis er priserne kun steget lidt. Den amerikanske udsalgspris er $ 35 hvilket ville svare til en markedspris her på omkring kr. 300,00. Ved en fællesbestilling skulle prisen pr. bind gerne kunne lande på kr. 225,00-245,00 incl. porto, moms og fortoldningsgebyr. Bøger er desværre tunge, så portoen er ikke lav.

Skulle der være andre ønsker, kan du finde deres program her: http://www.panzertracts.com/
De af jer der plejer at få alle udgivelser, er selvfølgelig allerede skrevet på listen.

Send jeres bestillinger til mig på: smt-hobby@post.tele.dk

Panzer Tracts No.8-1 – Sturmpanzer
This Panzer Tracts is greatly enhanced by the Archive of Modern Conflict’s support in permitting us to be the first to publish a significant number of brand new photos taken during the production of the assault tank “Sturmpanzer” at the Wien Arsenal in Austria. Also access to an original photo album from Deutsche Edelstahlwerke means that the quality and detail of our photo coverage of the Sturmpanzer production at Duisburg is outstanding. Photo coverage also covers the field use of every version of these assault tanks from Russia, Italy, France and Eastern Europe. Finally for the first time we can present clear photos that give an insight into the Munitionspanzer that was built to accompany the Sturmpanzer into combat.
Although the Sturmpanzer is well known, never before has such a detailed and accurate classification been achieved that highlights the features of Sturmpanzer Ausf.I, Ausf.II, Ausf.III and Ausf.IV. The Production history, allocation and use in combat are of the usual Panzer Tracts top standard.
Once again hundreds of hours were spent travelling around the world and accurately measuring the surviving Sturminfanteriegeschütz 33, several Sturmpanzer and their components. This scrutiny resulted in the identification of surprising differences never before reported. Using CAD these measurements have been converted into precise drawings.
This 80 page Panzer Tracts is the ultimate package of primary source material on the Sturmpanzer with over 19 pages of the world leading 1:35 scale drawings that have been grouped together to facilitate comparison, and over 80 clear large-format photos laid out in an attractive style.

Panzer Tracts No.22-5 – Gepanzerter 8t Zugkraftwagen & Sfl.Flak (Sd.Kfz.7)
Firstly, this Panzer Tracts features astounding new facts about the history of the armoured 8t built together with the 8,8cm Flak 18 bunker buster “Bunkerknacker”. Secondly, until now the self-propelled guns on half-track “Sfl. auf m.Zgkw. 8t” have simply been identified by weapon: 2cm Flakvierling (Sd.Kfz.7/1) or 3,7cm Flak (Sd.Kfz.7/2) and perhaps by having an armoured cab. Now Panzer Tracts’ research sets the record straight with descriptions of no less than 12 different Sfl.Flak variants. This allows the reader to see for the first time the evolution of these important self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Also featured in this Panzer Tracts is the enlarged 8t Zgkw. (Sd.Kfz.7/6) created to carry the range finding equipment of a 8,8cm Flak Batterie, the Feuerleitpanzer, armoured control centre for launching the A4 (V2) rockets and the surprisingly widespread “Behelfspanzerung” that will be new to most enthusiasts.
Fortunately, several Selbstfahrlafette auf m.Zgkw. 8t and all of the Flak guns required have survived to the present day in public, private and even closed collections. Several hundred hours were spent travelling and measuring each precisely and over one thousand hours were expended to create the world’s most accurate drawings.
This 88 page Panzer Tracts is the ultimate and only accurate primary source reference on the gepanzerter Zugkraftwagen 8t (Sd.Kfz.7) and Flak Sfl. for both beginners and experts. There are 21 pages of 1:35 scale drawings grouped together to facilitate comparison and over 100 clear large-format photos most of which have never been published before.
