Gundam Sentinel
After the series completed its run, Model Graphix combined all of the individual articles into a 320-page photo-novel titled Gundam Wars III: Gundam Sentinel -The Battle of Real Gundam-, which also includes new material. It was released in September 1989 and is highly regarded as one of the best "Gundam" novels ever written.

"Gundam Wars III" was also reprinted in 1994, but it only has articles on the model kits, shortening its size to only 216 pages.
