Ammo by Mig 6303 How to Paint Mid WWII German Tanks (Feb 1943 - Sep 1944) (Bilingual English & Spanish)

Ammo by Mig 6303 How to Paint Mid WWII German Tanks is an exceptionally valuable modeling publication created for enthusiasts of German armor from the World War II era. The bilingual (English-Spanish) book details unique painting and weathering techniques for German armored vehicles used from February 1943 to September 1944. This product from AMMO by Mig Jimenez is the result of work by five master modelers, who explain step by step the process of recreating the most characteristic camouflage patterns of the mid-World War II period.

The period covered in the publication includes the transition from the single-tone dark gray paint scheme to Dunkelgelb (dark yellow) as the base color, with added patches of Olivgrün (olive green) and Schokobraun (dark brown). This was the era when German armored vehicles such as the Panther, Tiger, Tiger II, PzKpfw IV, StuG III, Elefant, Jagdpanther appeared on the most important theaters of war—including the Eastern Front and the campaigns in Italy and France. The book also provides a detailed explanation of applying Zimmerit, the anti-magnetic paste that protected vehicles from magnetic mines—a modeling technique highly sought after by advanced hobbyists.

On over 120 pages you will find:

• Eight thoroughly described models of tanks and assault guns used during the discussed period, illustrated with color model photographs and archival images of actual vehicles from the era.
• A comprehensive guide to painting historical camouflage, aging effects, traces of mud, dust, grease, streaking, and other types of weathering.
