The magazine under review is Tank Master No 5/99 published by Tank Master of Russia, I do not have the contact address as it is printed in Russian. I obtained mine from NKR Models Australia price including postage about A33-50

First Look, Published on high quality glossy paper in A4 portrait format, it has 50 pages full of new and interesting Tank material. It contains 51 black and white photographs and 20 colour photographs from the Afghan War.

It has 2 illustrations from a Russian manual on where to hit the German tank.

5 tactical plans are include along with data lists, which unfortunately are meaningless as they are in Russian. It has one full set of 1/35 plans of the Panther D.

The subjects covered are July 1943 battle on the Eastern Front, the Panther D, and the Afghan war.

The article on the Panther D is mainly a photomontage of captured examples and wrecks; these photographs illustrate more than words can, exactly what happens to a tank when it is hit. This section is worth the price of the magazine alone.

In conclusion yet once again I wish the publishers would grab the nettle and publish in English, This now makes more commercial sense and would increase their sales ten fold.

Since they are limited to about 3000 copies worldwide get yours now  to avoid disappointment.
