While I have not yet bought a copy, I have seen lots of George Bradfords work in the old AFV-G2 magazine. Absolutely excellent! I only have had one chance to buy that book (at a Barnes & Nobel) but didn't have the cash at the time. Well worth the investment if you need accuate scale drawings. |

if you want to scratchbuild modern vehicles it is great, if you do not want to build any it may be a bit boring for you. |

My Dad has a bunch of books in this series. They are nice 3 way drawings with scales depicted so you could use them for scratchbuilding. |

I have the Allied WW2 book and it is quite good. Minimal text but many line drawings of tanks in front, rear top and side views with scale (generally 1/72) shown. |

It covers a mix of vehicles each from each decade, starting with the post WWII 1940s and going through the 1990s. Many primary types from NATO and the WARPAc are covered along with a smattering of interesting types from other nations, and a few prototypes. It doesn't include every Soviet or NATO MBT, or APC, but a lot of them. Some interesting types like the Rooikat, Mamba, Type 87 RCV, IKV91, T34/122, XM808, AMX-50, etc are covered. A great book for the scratch-builder/converter. Not much to read as it is all drawings, no real text. |

if you google him George Bradford still sells his plans individually . I am Pretty sure he didn't do those Russian tanks . |

It has the T-72,Magach 6B, but not the T-80 or T-90. |
