The photographs of the models covered in the book are beautiful. The biggest disappointment with it is that there is very little "how to" information in the book and this is what I expected to see. The various Verlinden after market kits used with each model are included, as are the colors used to wash and highlight, but how these are used is not discussed. It would be nice to have a discussion of how to effectively apply the fadeing tone to the model, for instance.

2 words:

a) Great pictures (as we may expect from François verlinden) b) Few explanations (no tips, no suggestions, no "how to")

At the end of the day I was dissapointed. I prefer to buy some of those Japanese Magazines, I learn the same, pictures are better!

While the pictures are nice, this book really doesn't show you how to model military vehicles. It's mostly just an ad for Verlinden Productions items. However, if you do want to have pictures of nicely done models, then this book is for you.
