Building Military Vehicles, Vol. III

This 3rd installment in VP s popular Building Military Vehicles series features 9 new articles covering the art of making military vehicle models. Eight new articles from the workshop at VP studios include a how-to about making zimmerit on an Elefant with epoxy putty, and 2 models, the StuG III and Panzer IV, featuring the new photo-etched zimmerit by VP. Another theme explored in this book is how to realistically simulate the winter whitewash used on tanks in WWII, using the Tiger II Porsche turret and the classic Sherman. The famous Tamiya Famo is shown built-up with lots of extra accessories, given the royal VP treatment. A full interior by VP is added to the new Academy M-12 155mm self-propelled howitzer, and Tamiya?s gorgeous Marder III receives a much needed fighting compartment interior. A special bonus in this book is provided by Spanish master modeler Miguel Jimenez MiG, where he shares his talents and demonstrates how to give a mud bath to a Kosovo-based M-978 Oshkosh fuel tanker truck. This latest book promises to inspire & amaze both novice and expert modelers, as well as military technology enthusiasts & historians around the world.
