T-34/76 & T-34/85: Osprey Modelling Manual (Osprey Modelling Manual, 16)

Rating:
Summary: informative and lacking
Review: This is the first of the Osprey modelling titles I purchased. The kit reviews are worth the price of the book ( wish I had bought it on Amazon! ). I had no idea how inaccurate the Tamiya offerings of the T-34 until I read this! There are a few scale drawings included; I would have preferred more. The biggest problem I have with this book is that the emphasis on purchasing after-market parts. It's great to know which aftermarket sets one should pursue, but it would have been even better to demonstrate DIY remedies to failures in accuracy. I have noticed that the other Osprey modelling titles suffer from this failing. As I said, worth it, but could have been better.
