Pages 52-77 sees the M26 in extreme detail with many illustrations from the M26 manual along with excellent drawings of various vehicle sections. These have interior and exterior details with just about everything covered including the engine in and out of the vehicle, full turret details and everything in between. There are also a few wartime pictures of the M26, most of which have been seen in other publications but the majority of the coverage is devoted to the details.
The next six pages have close up exteriors photos of the M46 followed by 6 pages with shots of the M26/M46 in action in Korea, again most of these have been seen before.

There are many wartime photos of both versions with quite a few of destroyed vehicles. Along with the photos are four sets of 1/35 plans of different versions of the BT-7, two show variations on model 1935 and 2 have variations of the model 1937.
There is also 6 pages with close-up details of the BT-7 along with the excellent drawings now common in the Ground Power issues.

Another excellent issue of this magazine.
