There are many "how-to" books in today's world of scale modeling, but none has covered the "why's", as well as, the "how-to's"… the artistic approach… until now. In TANKART, a painting and weathering guide book series, the focus is on taking real-life observations of paint and weathering effects and incorporate the best techniques to replicate them. The 3rd Edition of TANKART 1 German Armor book is printed in our standardized TA size format, 8.5" x 9.5", expanded with 2 additional model chapters to 288-pages in length. Each book is wrapped in a matt laminated cover stock with the interior pages designed to show the models and writings at their absolute best. Inside the original models; Befehls Panther G, Tiger I Initial, Sd.Kfz 251/22 Pakwagen, Hetzer, and Panzer IV DAK are presented in an updated and refined layout. The guest author, Lester Plaskitt's worldclass Sd.Kfz 251/21 Drilling is expanded to match the style of the other chapters, including new orange caption boxes explaining his impressive skills.
