Product Description |
| United States tanks and other armored fighting vehicles in World War II have always been some of the most popular subjects for scale modelers, and hundreds of kits have been and are currently manufactured. Now, renowned modeler and AFV expert, Steven J. Zaloga, presents the definitive guide to modeling these famous fighting vehicles. Based around four building projects, Zaloga presents all the techniques necessary to get a great finish on a model, including super-detailing, correcting a flawed kit, building a resin model, scratch building, and painting and markings. These step-by-step guides is enhanced by numerous photographs specially shot form Steven's personal collection of US WWII armor, which looks at the vehicles with a modeler's eye and aid in obtaining the most realistic results on a finished project. |

 A must have for the AFV modeler!! |
| Review Date: October 3, 2009 |

| Wow!! This is the best I've seen of Steven Zaloga's incredible authorship. In this extraordinarily comprehensive volume, in characteristic style, Zaloga covers the gamut of US World War II armor modeling. From the very basics to the advanced,this book covers in depth construction tips, painting techniques with a wonderful history of Olive Drab, detailed descriptions of stowage and tools, figures, dioramas and photography. This book will serve as an invaluable resource for all AFV modellers, regardless of their interest. As a big collector of 'how-to' model books, from Shep Paine onward, this book is one of the best. I put all my AFV modeling on hold till I got this book, and as a predominantly US and Russian WW II modeler, I'm happy that I did. |

| Terrific book by a talented modeler. This book goes beyond the more common "how to" modeling books that take you step by step through a specific project. This book is much more broad in it's approach and with well written text and profuse illustrations spells out modeling techniques in a clear and easy to understand manner. Highly reccomended. |

| Well I am a modeler and really enjoyed this book. It is written clearly with photos that explain the techniques of the author's painting, builds, scratch builds and many other things. It is broken down into clear chapters in a very good sequence for anyone who is building an armor model. It starts with building techniques, painting then weathering, Battle bits, stowage and tools, The Human Factor-figure painting, Scenery, and also photography. It is an extremely through book on modelling and Steve shares a lot of his secrets about painting techniques, how to build your own storage gear and make simple but beautiful scenery. I will be reading the book again there is so much good information in it and have already started using some of the technique such as building my own storage gear from that chapter. I highly recommend it to all armor modelers. This is one book I will never be selling from my collection. |
