U.S. tanks and other WWII-era armored fighting vehicles are among the most popular subjects for scale modelers. In Modeling US Armor of World War 2, renowned modeler Steven J. Zaloga, presents the definitive guide to modeling these famous fighting vehicles. Based around four building projects, this guide presents techniques for getting a great finish on a model, including super-detailing, correcting a flawed kit, building a resin model, scratch building and painting and markings. Filled with step-by-step instructions—and enhanced by numerous photographs specially shot from Zaloga's personal collection of US WWII armor—this volume looks at these legendary vehicles with a modeler's eye to help you obtain amazingly realistic results.

The book is well illustrated. It covers almost everything you would need to model U.S. armor. The description of the O.D. color veriations and time frame would be handy for a vehicle restoration as well as a modeler. The O.D. color on my tank in Germany in 1963 was darker,probably some black added. I feel this book is well worth the price.
