WPTPV001 Guideline Publications - Panzer Vor! German Armour 1939-1945 In Profile

By David Grummitt; 84 pages

There is no doubt, almost eighty years after the end of World War II, that the tanks and other armoured vehicles developed and employed by Nazi Germany from 1933 until 1945 continue to fascinate historians and modellers alike. Their popularity is evident in the rate at which new kits of German vehicles appear from all the major model manufacturers. These new kit releases are fuelled by an ongoing search for information on these AFVs and a steady of stream of period photographs, many from private archives, that are a constant source of fascination for modellers This book brings together the best of more than a decade's research articles published in Military Modelcraft International, redesigned and presented for this book. Together they shed light on Nazi Germany's armoured forces - the Panzerwaffe - and the men - the Panzertruppen - who fought with them. Rare archival photographs reveal unique camouflage schemes and unusual field modifications, while colour profiles will provide inspiration beyond the marking and camouflage options provided in model kits. As well as this unique reference source, the book contains a build of a small-scale armoured car by master modeller Alex Clark and a previously unpublished build of Tamiya's Panzer IV Ausf.
