OPG have had so many enquiries about the Hermann Goring In Sicily book – which is now unavailable – that they have persauded Claude Gillono, the original author, to work on a revised and expanded edition which will cover all the German armoured units involved in that campaign.

The new book – Fortress: German Armour In The Defence Of Sicily - will contain new text, many new photographs and new illustrations, correcting some of the problems with the old book.

This was announced a week or so ago at the Tokyo Model Hobby Show together with a new Gaz-AAA but I’ve held of till now to confirm that these were actually new kits ( item number 35130 ) rather than reboxings of the Zvezda kit. Good news is that they’re all new and up to the MiniArt standard ( time to hunt out that old Zvezda kit in the cupboard and find a new home for it ).
