Dataview Publishing has been unearthing some very interesting
publications for re-print. In this release, they've found the maintenance
manual for the M7 Priest. This manual has a number of good images
and diagrams illustrating the proper care and feeding of this self-propelled
artillery piece, and there is even a section outlining different
methods of destroying the gun and/or vehicle to keep it from falling
into enemy hands.
Dataview evidently scanned a hardcopy original of this manual
into Adobe Acrobat PDF format. The one annoyance is that none of
the pages are of a uniform size, so as you browse through the manual,
you'll see that either the scanning software or operator only scanned
the portion of the page with content, rendering the manual a little
disjointed when reviewing the content from the computer. If you
print the manual, everything should be fine.
If you have the Italeri kit stashed away and have postponed building
this without some suitable detail images, your wait is over. While
the images are not so comprehensive as to allow for superdetailing
the entire model, it does provide some useful information that
will help you with selected areas of the vehicle.
This title is recommended!
This title is available directly from the publisher at Dataview
Publications (www.dataviewbooks.com).
My sincere thanks to Dataview
Publications for this review sample!
