8th October, I'm back from a really interesting trip to Germany, by others planning new book prodjects. After clear my desk I will get going on the captions for the new panzer book, unfortunatly due to the much longer and more into depth texts in this book I have to delay the publishing date to late November early December. Sorry for that!

20th October, during the week I have collected information for the profile captions.

17 November, Due to a bottle-neck at my printer there will be no Panzer book before Christmas, I'm really sorry for that as I know there are quite a few customers out there who has been waiting for this publications for a while now. However this would make the end product even better as it should give me some more time working on the finished product. My plan is to print the book in late January and to publish the book during March 2020.

24 November, Wow I have found a great looking Panther G from the fighting in Kurland durig the Summer of 1944. A Panzer that I simply have to make and to incude in this book.

1 December, during the week I have also manage to make a new Panther G for the book, the one mentioned last week. A MAN built Panzer from Pz.Rgt. 25, 7. Pz.Div. Althoug now with 65 profiles I guess I will increase the format of the book to fit all made panzers.
