Description
By Andy Singleton
Paperback
For many wargamers, WW2 is synonymous with large fleets of tanks and other AFVs battling each other across the European countryside in the early Blitzkrieg campaigns or sweeping across the Western Desert in North Africa.
Here Andy Singleton lends the benefit of his experience as a professional modeller and painter to help you get your own armoured force ready for battle. Andy starts by discussing the tools and materials required and explaining some basic techniques, such as dry-brushing and stippling.
The author then moves on to detailed step-by-step instructions colour schemes and markings of each of the major combatants of this period in the West, British and Commonwealth, Polish, French, German and Italian are all covered in detail. Each step is illustrated by a colour photo, paint number and the type and size of brush used, and there are variants for use with or without an airbrush. Adding national emblems and other markings, either freehand or by using transfers, is also covered.
In addition to the basic paint scheme there is guidance for adding weathering effects and wear and tear, such as dust, desert sand or chipped paint, as well as providing some historical context for all the paint and marking schemes covered. Throughout, it is packed with useful tips and tricks of the trade.
