This book explores the fascinating history of tank, anti-tank and self-propelled artillery ammunition used by the British and Americans in World War 2. As well as examining the major ammunition types in detail, the work also explains, for the first time in a book of this type, how ammunition functions and is made to be accurate. The guns and weapons used to fire the ammunition are also covered, as is a comprehensive lexicon of terminology and an extensive list of references. The whole is complemented by stunning artwork showing the ammunition and its associated packaging, with many period photographs of the ammunition in use.
Weathering is the sustained trend in modelling which has developed tremendously over the recent years, especially in the area of armour modelling. There is now a whole variety of modelling techniques to simulate dirt, fading, spills, paint wear and tear, rusting, etc.
This is a book about weathering designed with one audience in mind - the military modeller. To be sure, there are many books available about weathering military models, but they all concentrate on weathering techniques - pre-shading, washes, pin-washes, dry-brushing, hairspray, etc. This book is different: it does not tell the modeller how to achieve a particular finish. Rather, it is a reference book showing a range of real military vehicles and their components in real military environments. Actual weathering!
