Step-by-step guides are provided, demonstrating the appropriate painting techniques for different scales, along with an additional section showcasing how to paint wargames models. Furthermore, the book offers a comprehensive review of the USA's development of tanks and other armoured vehicles from the interwar period to the end of World War II. This fascinating story will enrich the historical context of the vehicles model makers and wargamers create, adding depth and authenticity to their creations. Whether you are a seasoned model maker or a novice enthusiast, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone who wishes to recreate the iconic armoured vehicles of the United States in miniature.
