Review
"I've got to say, honestly, I was quite amazed at the total content of this manual. From beginning to end, the model subjects, tips, techniques, and hidden surprises really blew me away! Definitely recommended for all levels of hobbyist, in all scales, I feel that every modeler can get some good from this writing...carefully written, with dynamite photos and text, "Modelling the Panzer IV in 1/72 Scale" deserves a spot on your library shelves!" -Mark Smith, "Armorama "(July 2005)

Osprey enter a brave new world,
This review is from: Modelling the Panzer IV in 1/72nd Scale (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
This long time since anyone published a book soley on small scale modelling of AFV`s, this book is worth that wait. The author takes you through Five projects, each one is desribed in easy to follow steps aided with the use of photo`s. Various techniques are covered,for example; the application of zimmerit paste, use of resin and photoetch parts, use of the airbrush. The author also lists the Kits and after market accesories available for the Panzer IV and where to find reference material. The book is very nicely set out and the techniques that the author covers can be used on any 1/72nd or 1/76th scale AFV model. I`m not a big fan of German armour modelling but a quick browse through the book was enough to make me buy it. But i would only recomend this book to someone of at least an intermediate level of modelling skill. An absolute beginnner would find the book very daunting. This book represents very good value for money. Osprey must be given a pat on the back for finally realising that small scale do modellers exist.

Very excellent,
By Emilio Mestiga (Scythia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modelling the Panzer IV in 1/72nd Scale (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
This is a terrific guide to modelling the Panzer IV and its variants in 1/72 scale, chock full of useful tips and inspiring photos. The author provides detailed description of his builds of Panzer IV based vehicles in increasing complexity using a variety of aftermarket items, kitbashing and scratchbuilding to create some stunning models.
I was particularly impressed with his homemade zimmerit and the interiors on some of his models - the burned out PanzerIV in the gallery section is amazing, it's a shame that particular build wasn't included in more detail. Anyone who builds small scale armour would benefit from reading this book. Highly recommended.

Modelling the Panzer IV in 1/72 Scale,
By M. Driskill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modelling the Panzer IV in 1/72nd Scale (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
This is one of the best modelling books I have ever purchased. If features clearly written descriptions of excellent modelling techniques appropriate to the small scale of the subject. The models included are superbly built, well displayed, and beautifully photographed. I will definitely purchase other books by this author, and would like to see more Osprey Modelling armor titles devoted exclusively to 1/72 scale.

Outstanding in every way!,
By spejic - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modelling the Panzer IV in 1/72nd Scale (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
What an amazing resource. This book basically contains walkthroughs as the author builds two Panzer IVs, a Jagdpanzer IV, a Sturmpanzer IV, a Sturmgeschutz IV, and a Flakpanzer IV (with some more info on two other Panzer IV variants as well!), each taking the difficulty level higher. Information about Revell kits, aftermarket details (resin, metal, and photo-etched), scratchbuilding, interiors, and even diorama creation are all covered, as well as various types of paint schemes. There are even a couple pages with photos of a preserved Flakpanzer taken with a modelers eye. Almost 80 pages packed of well-written information in a small font provide insight without getting bogged down in basics. And the author is certainly up to the task of creating models that inspire and awe. The only complaint is that the images are mostly very tiny - 1/72 scale modelers certainly expect to strain their eyes, but this is a little much.
If you are interested in building 1/72 models of WWII German armored vehicles, I cannot recommend this book enough. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Amazing,
By Albert Chen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modelling the Panzer IV in 1/72nd Scale (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
This is the first book I came accross that is dedicated to 1/72 scale armour models. It presents a good coverage on the common variants of the famous German tank (Panzer IV). The models presented in the book were constructed with painstaken blinding details (these models are only about 2 inches long!). The book explains many techniques, such as casting and painting, to produce the details in the the models. I recommand this book to any serious modeller who is interested in the small scales.
