I'm not a big fan of Osprey books, I have quite a few of them but have always felt they were overpriced for what you get and I've noted quite a few errors w/in them over the years. I've found Katcher to be hit or miss, his Osprey Sharpshooter volume had several errors and felt like a partially researched work that was published on a deadline.

Troiani's various works are a far better investment; there are 7-8 in total and worth the price, come to think of it the three dealing w/ Cav, Inf & Arty are comparable in price to the Osprey works.

As to the diorama... it's a bug that can catch you. It's priceless to watch someone else appreciate the work that went into it.
