Grummitt, David Panzer Vor! German Armour 1939-1945 in Profile. Reference and Modelling

Almost eighty years after the end of the Second World War, there is no doubt that the tanks and other armoured vehicles developed and deployed by Germany between 1933 and 1945 continue to fascinate historians and modellers alike. Their popularity is reflected in the speed with which new kits of German vehicles appear from all the major model manufacturers. These new kits are fuelled by the constant search for information about these armoured vehicles and a steady stream of contemporary photographs, many from private archives, which are a constant source of fascination for modellers. This book brings together more than a decade's worth of the best research articles published in Military Modelcraft International, redesigned and presented for this book. Together they shed light on the armoured forces of Nazi Germany - the Panzerwaffe - and the men who fought with them - the Panzertruppen. Rare archive photos show unique camouflage schemes and unusual field modifications, while colour profiles provide inspiration beyond the marking and camouflage options of the model kits. In addition to this unique reference source, the book includes a build of a small armoured car by master modeller Alex Clark and a previously unpublished build of Tamiya's Panzer IV.
