Iron Mike
Master At Arms And Resident Curmudgeon
New from AK Interactive, 1945 German Colors Camouflage Profile Guide is an in depth look at the colors and camo schemes of late war German vehicles. The publisher discusses the colors used during the period and the challenges a modeler faces interpreting color from a black and white photograph. A color chart showing the RAL colors from the period is included and several colorized historic pictures show how adding color brings life to a subject. Mig Jimenez provided the idea, cover design and design supervision for this thought provoking book.
There are fifty one pages of many German vehicles in various camo schemes, designed to stimulate the imagination of the reader and eight pages of paper panzers for that what if project. The last section shows some modeling examples, built from the illustrations.
In summary, this book is a must have for late war German armor enthusiasts. Priced at $29.95 USD, it is available from AK Interactive USA http://www.ak-interactive-usa.com/books.html
Published by AK Interactive 71 pages, mostly color on glossy stock. The review sample courtesy of my own wallet, a worthwhile purchase.
