During my visit in Mosonmagyarovar I met with Toni Canfora, the publisher of the first class Nordic Edge book series. He handed me in with his newest Panther book. I got my example signed by the publisher himself and by the originator of the Panther subject book - Mirko Bayerl (as I reckon one of the best modellers of our time).
The book makes a outstanding impression positioning it among one of the best modelling-historical research publications available on the market. We get a 144 pages volume filled with excellent photos of models and craftsmanship of their authors as well as historical background and research for the subjects.
The foreword is written by Hilary Doyle.
There are 10 modellers appearing on the pages of this book and they are as listed:
Roger Hurkmans with a 11. SS Pz.Abt. "Hermann von Salza" Panther Ausf. D
Lester Plaskitt with a Pz. Reg. 23 Infra Rott prepared Panther Ausf. G
Darren Gawle with a I./Pz. Reg. 22 Stahlrad Panther Ausf. G as seen in the Berlin area
Mirko Bayerl with a 9. SS Pz. Div. "Hohenstaufen" Befehlspanther Ausf. G AJ 9
Roddy MacDougall with a SS Pz. Reg. 1 Stahlrad Panther Ausf. G
Toni Canfora with a I./4. Pz. Reg. Panther Ausf. A
Brian Murdoch with a 2./SS Pz. Reg. 1 Panther Ausf. G (turret in zimmerit)
Gunnar Janson with a Infra Rott/Bild Wandler (IR/BIWA) Panther Ausf. G
Markus Eriksson with a 5. SS Pz. Div."Wiking" Panther Ausf. A
Phil Stutcinskass with a KG "Peiper" Stahlrad Panther G
More over there are 3 articles by Mirko Bayerl covering the search of the AJ 9 Panther and the battle route of the 9. SS "Hochenstaufen" in Hungary during operation "Fruhlingserwachen" in march 1945 as well as photographs of rarities found today on the once bloody battlefields of the hungarian landscape.
In my opinion this is a highly reccomended publication with simply a load of high class modelling and a lot of historical info presented in a interesting and original way.
As far as I'm concerned Toni is already preparing new subjects so stay tuned for more.
