Based on meticulous research of actual vehicles, official photographs, factory specifications, and, in some cases, the original design plans, George Bradford's drawings of World War II armoured fighting vehicles are rendered with great precision - and in exact scale - offering military enthusiasts and modellers an essential reference on these steel chariots of war. This volume covers Australian, Belgian, Canadian, Czech, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, and South African armoured fighting vehicles.

One of a series - This one has the non Brit/US/German WWII AFV users vehicles portrayed. The plans are, as always, crisp and interesting with occasional photographs to spice up the mix. While a little more depth in the captions would be nice its very hard to criticise. If you're a newcomer to AFVs remember that while some of these vehicles were mass produced some were prototypes or produced in limited numbers.

An Ideal Modeler's Reference
16 July 2012
By J. Almerigotti
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bradford's line drawings of AFV's have been around for years and are a well researched reference for any AFV modeling enthusiast. In this volume we are presented with four and five view plans of vehicles of the "other" Allied and Axis countries. We are given examples of afv's from Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, France, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Poland, Begium and Czechoslovakia. Many are pre-war designs seen in the early war years, some are more obscure vehicles that are unlikely to be produced in model kit form. It is here where Mr. Bradford's efforts really pay off. If you've ever wanted to scratch build a 1/35 scale model of France's AMC Schneider Citroen-Kegresse half-tracked armored car then this is the book for you. There are eighty-seven different vehicle plans reproduced in 1/72, 1/48 or 1/35 scale, That's a lot for such a slim volume. The majority of the plans are in 1/35 scale, a scale conversion guide is printed on page six that provides the enlargement or reduction percentages for making copies in your prefered scale. I would recommend this and any George Bradford book of plans for serious AFV modelers and other historians.

It delivers what it sells

The tittle says it all. Schematics, and a lot of them. But they are amazingly done. There are a lot of details and vehicles for all countries, but it doesn't show non armored vehicles like motorcycles, jeeps and trucks (well, it reads on the cover ARMORED, so it is ok). The way the author describes and shows the veihcles is excellent for gamers, hobbist and savants of WWII
