“This book is a wealth of knowledge in a small package. It really is a one-stop shop for a beginning armor modeler. I highly recommend this to any beginner or intermediate modeler trying to improve his knowledge and skills of armor models. I really enjoyed the whole book. The authors had a lot of information to convey and I think they did a great job of doing it. For the money, this book is a real value for the average modeler.
