Mig Jimenez has been busy with rebuilding his products as Ammo of Mig. One of these products is a new book Camouflage Profile Guide: Eastern Front Russian Vehicles 1935-1945.
81 pages long and in large format it is a soft cover book printed on good qulity glossy paper. Showing that Russian vehicles of the war were not all green it covers a wide range of paint schemes and camouflage options.
Starting with a prologue it is followed with a caveat on the technical colour information contained. Next are some paint chips of the various colours used. Each colour also comes with a shadow and light colour chip to augment it. Next up is an interesting treatise on painting methods followed by whitewashing. A very interesting read.
The rest of the book is filled with examples of various paint jobs starting with trucks and then moving on to the various types of tanks. Each is accompanied by a write up and in some cases actual photographs.
The book finally ends with a Bibliography.
I think anyone interested in building some Russian armour would find this an interesting book and a great source of inspiration. You no longer have to be bored with green I bought mine from The Last Cavalry for $30.00. You can also get it right from Ammo of Mig for 19.00 Euros. Definately something to thinkk about when you are deciding on a build. On a final note Ammo of Mig also produces a 6 colour paint package for Soviet vehicles that would complement this book.
