In the second half of World War II the German Army faced numerically superior armoured forces on the Eastern and Western Fronts.In order to counter this threat, tank destroyer production was increased. One of these tank destroyers was the Jagdpanzer 38 (t), or 'Hetzer', which proved to be a successful design with over 2,500 being produced in the 14 months before the end of the war.This step-by-step guide provides all the information that AFV modellers will need to build variants of the Jagdpanzer 38 (t) 'Hetzer', including the Bergepanzer 38 (t) recovery vehicle. It also includes camouflage, paint schemes and markings.

The ‘Bison’ and ‘Grille’ are today’s commonly used names for the German self-propelled 15cm schwere Infanteriegeschütz 33 (sIG 33) vehicles of World War II.The sIG 33 was the most powerful support weapon for the German infantry at the beginning of the war and from 1940 it was mounted on a range of tracked vehicles. This book demonstrates the construction of five 1/35-scale models of specific examples of the various self-propelled sIG 33 vehicles. The modeller is led through the various skill levels of construction by combining existing kits with some aftermarket accessories and scratch-built items.

The Sturmgeschütz III proved to be one of the more significant German AFVs of World War II.Originally designed in the late 1930s as a self-propelled infantry support gun, its role became more diverse throughout the war and it served as a tank hunter and in front-line Panzer companies; over 9,000 vehicles were built. This book details the construction of four progressively more complicated builds in 1/35 scale, and also includes a gallery covering several different variants of the StuG III.It also provides a comprehensive list of available aftermarket products and kits of all scales.

Following on from Modelling the Early Panzerkampfwagen IV, this book examines the later versions of the tank, from those that were initially equipped with the 7.5cm KwK 40 L/43 to those that were mounted with the L/48 gun.Step-by-step photographs show how to model this tank across various scales and at various skill levels, making this book ideal for both beginners as well as advanced modellers interested in minuscule detail, scratch built extras and rare tank markings.

A step-by-step guide to building six different varieties of the Tiger tank – one of the most popular armour modeling subjects of all time.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 and anti-tank guns in Western Europe and the North African desert. It has proved to be one of the most popular modelling subjects of all time, with a vast and ever-increasing range of kits, aftermarket products and references available.Supported by step-by-step photographs, this guide 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.

A definitive guide to the art of painting and finishing models, with step-by-step instructions and photographs.Although many modellers can master the basic techniques of construction, it is with the painting and finishing of their kits that many begin to struggle. It is this skill that gives the model its distinctive look and feel and separates the good model from the truly great one. This title presents a detailed, step-by-step approach to addressing the difficulties involved in creating realistic, colourful finishes to armour and aviation models using a variety of different media and techniques.Aimed at both the beginner and the intermediate modeller looking to improve their skills, this chapter-by-chapter guide offers something for everyone.
