New stuff from L.Z. Models and Mirror Models

Since I'm spending the next 7 hours photographing and watching dress rehearsals for my daughter's dance show, I figure it's a good time to get caught up on some upcoming release information.

Libor at L.Z. Models has sent in some updates for upcoming releases from him and his partners at Mirror Models.

 

First up, from L.Z. Models, are a few update sets: 
No. 35309 1/35 German Kunze-Knorr Wagon Brake

 

No. 35310 German Hildebrand-Knorr Wagon Brake for Trumpeter & Dragon flatbed-type wagons.

New books from David Doyle and Squadron-Signal Publications

David Doyle is a well known author in military vehicle circles and has been one of Squadron's leading authors for the past several years.  I just received two of his latest books published by Squadron-Signal Books:

 

M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer Walk Around, SS67029

 

This 80 page book is loaded with color photographs of several different restored M18's. 

 

Diamond T 4-ton Truck Walk Around, SS67031

 

80 pages of color photos of open/hard top cargo variants and open/hard top wreckers.  This will make a good reference if Mirror Models comes out with a Diamond T truck like they announced a few weeks ago.

 

Please note that I contributed photos to quite a few of David's books during the past few years, including the above Diamond T title.  As such, I won't be reviewing either title.

 

Thanks to David Doyle for the books.
