Book 17
Although not as glamorous as vehicles such as the Panther and Tiger, the Panzer IV formed an extremely important part of the German armoured forces during World War II. This title provides detailed 1/72-scale build articles on a Panzer IV Ausf. H in winter camouflage, a lagdpanzer IV, a late-version Sturmpanzer IV, a final version Sturmgeschutz IV, and a Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind. Conversions, interior detailing, kit-bashing, adding aftermarket figures and parts, finishing and weathering, plus special scale techniques (such as reproducing zimmerit and simple mould making) are all covered in clearly explained, step-by-step detail. A gallery section also features Panzer IV Ausf. H, Panzer IV L/70 (V), and Panzer IV L/70 (A) variants.
Book 28
The Tiger tank is probably the most famous tank of World War II. Both the Tiger I and its successor, the Tiger II, were used as bases for other German vehicles. This book covers a wide range of vehicles based on the chassis of the Tiger I and II tanks in 1/72nd scale. It provides a detailed guide to modelling the basic tank versions as well as the Sturmmorser Sturmtiger (Tiger I variant), Jagdtiger (Tiger II variant) and the Panzerjager Tiger (P) Elefant tank destroyer. A variety of camouflage schemes are described in depth, and the text covers photoetched parts, resin aftermarket sets, scratchbuilding, and the use of figures and groundwork.
