“The old adage “You get what you pay for “ certainly applies with this book. Well researched and presented although I personally would have liked more interior views. Great addition to my library.”

“An excellent reference book, obviously the result of massive research. I'm by no means an ace vehicle modeller but this is going to be a great help and give me a bit more confidence when applying cammo to my WWII armoured vehicles. Well worth the money and I would certainly reccomend it.”

“This limited edition book is very good for establishing German Armour colours in WW2 with just under 100 pages given over to the subject in Chapter 2 after the short introduction in Chapter 1. A Colour chart is included and unlike most simplified books on the subject has revealed a lot more detail, especially on the variations in Dunkelgelb. Many colour photos are included of German vehicle parts, helmets and kit to show the colours used. Chapter 3 covers Soviet paint schemes in just 21 pages but given that the Soviets had very basis paint schemes that is not bad. The Chapter still revealed some interesting facts. Chapter 4 covers the British in 23 pages but to be honest this was not really good enough, as the photos in it were not always captioned and on pages 134-135 some photos were cropped so that not all the vehicle was visible. Another annoying thing was using a Grant and a GMC truck to demonstrate how a 1939 camo pattern was to be applied. Far too much of the Chapter was used on Middle East paint schemes, and not NW Europe post D-Day. Chapter 5 was for the US Army Armour and covered 53 pages in much better detail and with far better photos that Chapter 4. However having a large blurred photo as the header on Page 154 overlaid by a smaller photo of the same is rather strange, especially as the two Dodge WC54 Ambulances are seen side by side in different colours and yet without a caption!”
