How to Model World War II German Armor

Rating:
Summary: Modeling German Armor, Kind Of...
Review: This book covers all the areas one needs to know when modeling AFV's painting, dry-brushing, photo-etched parts even diorama building. It's chapters and writing style is laid out in a logical and easy-to-read manners. Sometimes just how the author achieved certain results really could use more detail (I'm still baffled as to how to apply a wash with an airbrush). The biggest problem I had with this book is that it has very little information on the uniqueness of WWII German armor. It does not cover German camouflage schemes, the wide array of colors used or the various kind of extra gear one might have seen on a German vehicle. I does cover the application of zimmerit but fails to detail the different types, such as the waffle pattern, and on which armor it would have appeared on. On how to model armor this book is quite useful. On the particulars of German armor this book is not as useful as implied.
