How to paint Mid WWII German Tanks (FEB 1943 - SEP 1944) (English Spain)

Description

Description:

In this book, five master modelers explain in detail how to create the most commonly used camouflage for German armored vehicles during the mid-phase of World War II, covering most of the years 1943 and 1944. During this time, new camouflage colors were introduced, with a base of dark yellow (Dunkelgelb) replacing the previous dark gray, accompanied by olive green (Olivgrün) and dark brown (Schokobraun). The mid-war period also saw the appearance of Zimmerit, the anti-magnetic paste applied to the vertical surfaces of tanks and their derivatives, including assault guns and tank destroyers.
