Book excerpt: Aimed at military model makers and wargamers who are interested in the armoured fighting vehicles of the United States as used throughout World War II, this book follows on from Modelling British World War II Armoured Vehicles by the same author. The book places its emphasis on US Army and US Marine Corps AFVs modelled mainly in 1/72 and 1/48 scales, in a deliberate departure from the more popular 1/35 scale, to encourage and inspire model makers who are new to or less familiar with these scales. Illustrated with over 270 colour photos this book features every major US AFV used in World War II, with many models shown in various stages of construction and paintings. It presents step-by-step guides demonstrating the painting techniques appropriate for different scales and includes an additional section showing how to paint wargames models. There is also a review of how the USA developed tanks and other armoured vehicles from the interwar period through to the end of World War II. This fascinating story will help model makers and wargamers give the vehicles they build an historical context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavishly illustrated book offering detailed how-to steps to build military models of the British & Commonwealth forces in multiple modeling scales in the Second World War. The book consists of scratch built, conversions and basic kit models of famous military vehicles built to a high standard through the entire process that will appeal to all modelers from beginner to advanced. With the growing amount of British and Commonwealth subjects being produced, now seemed the perfect time to create a book that explores these often overlooked subjects. I now have the option to build a motorcycle my mother rode in Berlin, the motorcycle my uncle used in Europe in 44/45 or a Ford 3 ton lorry that my father drove in Holland or even the Daimler armored car he commanded in Korea. I am sure the same goes for many others who had relatives in the wars of the early 20th century that being able to replicate these vehicles gives them a sense of closeness and understanding and a way to bring history alive.
