Authors: Jorge Alvear Michael Kirchoff Mig Jimenez About this book The T-34/76 was the most influential tank design of World War II, with its sloping armour, heavy hitting firepower & rapid mobility. It first saw combat in the summer of 1941, & its qualities soon set it apart from other medium tanks of the period. This book guides the reader through techniques for constructing & finishing four T-34/76 variants in 1/35 scale, presented by four of the world's leading AFV modellers. The projects featured are a T-34/76 from Factory 112, an Early T-34/76 Model 1943 recovered from a swamp, a captured STZ T-34/76 in service with Italian Army, & a German 747 (r)-3 conversion on the Western Front.

Authors: David Parker Gary Edmundson Steve van Beveren About this book Probably the most famous tank of the World War II, the Tiger I was originally conceived in 1941 in response to the German Army’s experience in fighting British tanks & anti-tank guns in Western Europe & the North African desert. Following the invasion of Russia, the appearance of the Soviet T-34 & KW tanks lent a further impetus to the programme & 1, 350 Tigers were produced between August 1942 & August 1944. The Tiger has proved to be one of the most popular modelling subjects of all time, with a vast & ever-increasing range of kits, aftermarket products & references available. This title features six different projects from some of the earliest Tigers in North Africa through to the late-production variants at the very end of the war. Contents Introduction • 121’, s. Pz.

Author: Steven J Zaloga About this book Tank destroyers were the US Army's response to blitzkrieg, & were based around the concept of mounting a large anti-tank gun on a light, fast moving vehicle. They served in the Mediterranean, Pacific, & North-West Europe theatres, & were also supplied to other Allied armies. These vehicles form an attractive modelling subject; their open turrets provide plenty of opportunity for detail work, as demonstrated here by the author in clear step-by-step instructions. Packed with tips & techniques from a leading modeller & Allied armour expert, this title covers the M10, M18, M36, & M39, & features modelling projects in 1/35th & 1/72nd scale. Contents Introduction · Kits & materials · Modelling a winter tank destroyer · Modelling a small-scale tank destroyer · Modelling the AFV Club M18 76mm GMC · Converting the AFV Club M18 into the M39 AUV · Further reading · Museums & collections · Index · Colour reference chart Paperback; September 2004; 80 pages; ISBN: 9781841767994 ...
