Humber Light Reconnaissance Car 1941-45 Reviews

...a great source for enthusiasts of this particular model as well as those interested in the history of British reconnaissance units during WW2. - C. Peter Chen, www.ww2db.com ...this book has opened my eyes to the possibilities really good reference materials can open up when you're finally ready to start building a model, and this is really good reference material! At 48 pages, it is a good read, with all the info one needs to understand the purpose and use of the car, and the photos are priceless for the modeler. -Gary Telecsan, IPMS/USA This well-written book is full of interesting insights about the Humber LRC as well as inspirations for model making or building dioramas with military miniatures. -Toy Soldier & Model Figure (July 2011) This is a recommended read for all Allied armour fans -- Military Modelcraft International
