4.- Commander's Display Unit brings you news and reviews from all of the latest products on the market right now...

8.- RTS: US Army M-114A1 CRV kit from Takom is built up from scratch. The magazine shows us in detail compared to the real thing the new kit from Takom. This is one of the best build reviews on the market and a great section to see every issue...

20.- Masaya “Miyabi” Yamashiro makes the Merkava Mk.3D from Meng, packed with aftermarket, in a worn and battle-tested 3D version of the "Chariot" of the Israeli forces.

32.- The Russian Invasion of Ukraine fills the "Reference" section of this issue. Both Ukrainian and Russian vehicles are seen in this section, with all of their additions, ad-hoc armour and new weapons used in conventional and unconventional ways are shown in this section.

40.- In “T-55AM2B”, Takom's kit is taken on by Tomasz Janiszewski who creates a scene of destruction in an urban setting with plenty of detail.

48.- The advanced "Pantsir-S1" was made into a very detailed kit by Tiger Model recently. Danny Janssens gives us his version that is seen in the arctic region of Russia in his scene. Only needing Def Model wheels and a voyager model set to be made into something quite realistic and convincing.

56.- Dragon's version of the “Magach 3” in 1/35th scale from the Israeli Defence force by Stefano De Paolis is next up. The crew is added to the metal tracks and extra Voyager photo-etch to give this kit a human touch and some more scale realism.

70.- The excellent MiniArt kit of the Su-122-54 in 1/35th scale is seen in gallery form by Yanglei Zheng. This touching diorama drew a lot of attention when it was made for the menacing shape of the tank versus the diminutive figure of the girl facing it.

76.- In “Swedish STRV 122", Markus Erikson shows us his Leo in Swedish colours. The Border Model kit. We saw this vehicle in the Abrams Squad book about Operation "Trident Juncture" that we reviewed last year.

90.- In another references section we look at the German IFV the “PUMA VJTF”. Ralph Zwilling captures the vehicles in several scenarios in this short section.

96.- Turret Basket section always previews the next volume of Abrams Squad and the newer kits are on the way...
