ReviewsPacked with 120 newly-commissioned, full-color artworks with exhaustive specifications, Russian Tanks of WWII is a key reference guide for military modelers and WWII enthusiasts alike... This is one neat book with lots of paint patterns to please modelers. It will be of great interest to them and WWII AFV enthusiasts., I have a real fondness for light tanks and this book helps me to be able to tell the difference between sub-variants, a real help when choosing a kit. This same level of depth is provided for all the other vehicles covered in the book... I would have to say that for those who know little about the subject and want to know more, this is the book to get. For those who know more but want all the salient information in one source, it is well worth picking up. I enjoyed reading the book and learned quite a bit from it. Highly recommended.
