This review is from: Other Axis and Allied Armored Fighting Vehicles (WWII AFV Plans) (Paperback)

Here in one place are line drawings of various Axis and Allied vehicles, sized right for larger scale model vehicles. These are vehciles from Japan, France and the smaller countries such as Romania and Hungary. The 1/35 drawings are clear, though textual information on each vehicle is brief, if at all. This is good for modelers who already have photo of the inteded vehicles. The book is good for what it is.

Note that all of these images are already included in the 1/72 books on the Axis and the Allies.

Actually if you make a copy of the pages you can try different paint schemes and it works out nice. Buy it used, not worth the new price.
