I am about to dip my toe into WW2 as a contrast to my Napoleonic endeavours. I am quite an experienced figure painter but motor vehicles are terra incognita. Can anyone advise me on a good book about panting 20mm or 1/72 scale soft skin and armoured vehicles? |

I would second the above Osprey title. It's by Alex Clark who is an exceptional 1/72 modeller. An article by him is also included in:
"How to Paint 1:72 Military Vehicles" from Ammo. Well worth getting. |
