Any distributors in the EU that you are aware of?

Trackpad’s web site says that Jan-Willem de Boer is their Netherlands distributor. TBH, I didn’t even know he was still in the model/references business … His web site has nothing but a link to send him an e-mail, so who knows? Can’t hurt to ask, of course.

Alternatively, wait until Modellbau König gets it in stock?

Thanks, that's a good tip - I've bought from them before. I'll way for the slowboat to arrive in Germany.

Hanno, my post was in response to Tony's, to let prospective Aust buyers know their options. You would have to obtain a list of retailers in other countries from Trackpad.


I'll look forward to the comments from readers: that is the ultimate test of how well (or not!) I've handled the subject.

My copy arrived at the end of last week and whilst I have yet to read it, there is a lot to go through, a first look is very impressive. No surprise there, I bought Mikes book on the 25 pdr in Australian service last year and was very pleased with the broad coverage and level of detail, Sentinel has received the same in depth treatment.

Some fantastic photos and comprehensive information covering all elements from concept to survivors should satisfy anybody with an interest in armoured vehicle history. Perhaps the most surprising part was finding my name in the acknowledgements!

A fantastic history of a most impressive tank with enough detail to satisfy a rivet counter such as myself....

Well done Mike!

First published review I've seen, and he is quite complimentary.
