WWP Bookshop 190719

Another lot of reference books arrived from WWP Bookshop from the Czech Republic. Great reference material and excellent service.

Just look at how they packed our order - styrofoam all around with shrinkwrapped books inside. Took only 5 days to ship from the Czech Republic to Hong Kong after the order is confirmed by email. Highly recommended!

There was an online bookstore in the US I used to order from that did the same thing when shipping their books, but this is not common. So yes, it looks like WWP Bookshop from the Czech Republic has a good shipping policy.

Now about the books. Which books did you get?
We can see the M7B2 book, but there is a good stack of others.

Reference books that we ordered don't always make it to the production schedule.  Whatever is under the M7B2 better be kept secret for a little while.

Trying to count the number of books (all look of similar size) and then check the publisher.

By the way, if you do decide to do moderns, 1/48 would be nice.

That is an amazing job of packaging books!

FYI - I am working on putting together a Wish List of vehicles for the Korean War, and the M7B2 Priest served there.  Except for the Brits and their Centurion (which apparently could climb steep hills like a mountain goat), the allies preferred chassis was the M4A3 Sherman. Could handle fields and crappy roads with ease, and didn't bog down nearly as often asn the much heavier Pershing and Patton.  About half the armor that served in Korea were Shermans.

And while the standard M7 Priest was based off the Grant/Lee, the M7B2 was a redesign based off the M4A3 Sherman chassis. So it was well loved by the infantry, who were happy to get mobile artillery supporting them under crappy conditions.  The M7B2 Priest could go places other self-propelled artillery could not.
