SOLUTION BOOK MINI 33 - WWII German Panzer Gray (Multilingual)Reference:  A-MIG-6607Title: Solution Book 33 - How to Paint German Armored Vehicles of World War II in Gray Publisher: Mig Jimenez SL Author: Mateusz Dziwisz Collection:  Solution Book Subject: Construction and painting techniques for armored vehicle models Languages: Multilingual. English, Spanish, French, and German. Number of pages and description: Paperback, 63 pages with high-quality photographs and color profilesISBN/DLNA:  ISBN 978-84-19665-59-1/DL NA 2503-2025 The typical Dunkelgrau RAL 7021 (dark gray) entered service in the late 1930s and was the standard scheme for German armored vehicles during the early years of World War II. It became common not only in the Wehrmacht but on virtually all German military vehicles of the era. Dunkelgrau was undoubtedly one of the most widely used paint schemes in the early stages of the conflict, employed by a large number of units and applied to a multitude of different vehicles. It is characterized by a uniform shade of Dunkelgrau, designed to blend into urban and industrial environments, as well as to facilitate mass production. Among the best-known vehicles that used this camouflage are the Panzer I, II, III, and IV tanks; the first version of the Tiger I; the Sd.Kfz. 222 and 223 reconnaissance vehicles; the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-tracks; self-propelled guns such as the StuG III; and many other armored and unarmored vehicles used by German forces in Poland, France, and during the early stages of the Eastern Front. Although Dunkelgrau was the predominant color, combinations with other shades were also used to adapt to different operational environments; for example, Dunkelbraun RAL 7017 (dark brown), Grün RAL 6002 (green), Olivgrün RAL 6003 (olive green), and Sandgrau RAL 7027 (sand gray) were added for decorative purposes, and white paint was used for snowy environments.With this guide, you can apply camouflage, weathering, and dirt effects to any vehicle with a Dunkelgrau camouflage scheme. Most of the techniques and effects described are optional, and it’s up to you to decide whether or not to apply them. If you want to improve your technique, we recommend trying them all. To achieve different levels of wear, simply adjust the intensity of the various effects to your liking.This book illustrates all the necessary and most suitable products for creating the described effects. By following the recommended application order and drying times, you’ll achieve excellent results. The model used as an example in this guide is the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. F2 & G, 1/35 scale, Border Models part number BT004.Now choose your favorite model and let an expert modeler guide you step by step!

Title: Solutions Manual 30: How to Paint U.S. Navy Aircraft of Early World War II Author(s): Andreia Rodrigues Publisher: AMMO by Mig Jiménez Subject: Painting and Aging Techniques for Aircraft Collection: Solutions Book Languages: Multilingual: English, Spanish, French and German Number of Pages and Description: Softcover, 66 pages with high-quality color photos. The Pacific theater of World War II was where embarked aviation, both Japanese and American, played a key role. From Pearl Harbor to the end of the war, battles between aircraft of the U.S. Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy were incessant. In late December 1940, the U.S. Navy ordered all embarked aircraft to be painted entirely in light gray. Then, in August 1941, the upper surfaces of aircraft belonging to the Pacific Battle Fleet were painted blue-gray, while the lower parts retained their previous light gray color. Over the following months, gradually more aircraft were painted in this livery. In February 1942, it was formally ordered that all U.S. Navy aircraft, both embarked and ground-based, be painted the combination of blue-gray and light gray. This initial camouflage livery remained in use until January 1943, when a new tricolor livery was introduced for embarked aircraft. This consisted of sea blue for the upper surfaces, intermediate blue for the middle part, and insignia white for the lower surfaces. With this solutions manual, you will be able to paint any U.S. Navy aircraft with the camouflage of the early years of World War II, including the iconic F4U Corsair, F4F Wildcat, TBD-1 Devastator, TBF/TBM Avenger, SBD Dauntless, and many others. Most of the techniques described are optional and it is up to you to decide whether or not to apply them. If you would like to improve your painting and aging skills with these techniques, we recommend that you try them all. This package includes all the necessary and most suitable products to create the effects described. By following the order of application and drying times, you will achieve excellent results. You can recreate any level of wear on your models by varying the intensity of each effect. The model used in this manual is the Douglas TBD-1 Devastator in 1/48 scale by GWH. Now, choose your favorite model and let an experienced modeler guide you step by step!

Also included are action photographs of perfectly preserved Lightnings from the Lightning Preservation Group and vintage photos of operational jets in ??different liveries.This book is ideal for those who want to learn more about the jet and for scale modelers who want to detail their kits to the maximum.The Lightning was a fantastic interceptor, capable of flying at very high speed and altitude. It was an important part of British airspace defense systems and was equipped with only two air-to-air missiles, carried on fuselage pylons.The Lightning was the only aircraft that could be equipped with external fuel tanks above the wings. Here was a concept! Another unique aspect of the jet was that its two engines were positioned on top of each other!
