AMMO MIG 6035 - Panzer DNA - German Military Vehicles of World War II - Camouflage, Markings, Organization

The subject of this book is very complex and has been addressed by many authors, but generally dividing it in many sectors and not in only one text. Authors of "Panzer DNA" have collected a lot of German official documents, Allied reports, post war interpretations, and have examined hundreds of photos to offer to the readers a simple but complete guide.
Nobody can present all the examples possible in this field, but it is useful to explain which were the rules regarding colours, camouflages, markings, organization of German vehicles during the Second World War and to show some of the many variations (the most common, but also the strangest and the most interesting) discovered during this deep research.
This is an essential book to have all information in only one text, to watch simple examples, to understand the base of the German military organization and to discover that some myths are wrong or exaggerated.
The partition of the book in several chapters, every one examinating a complete and organic theme, has been studied to make easy the consulting and the finding of information to the reader.

AMMO MIG 6040 - Modelling Guide - How To Paint With Acrylics

Water-based acrylic paints are the best option to paint our models. Thanks to their ease of use, cleaning, and mixing, water-based acrylics have become the paint of choice for modelers all over the world. Being non-toxic and odorless (unlike lacquers and enamels) they have been favored by modelers who are forced to share their space with children, pets, and other family members. They are perfect to be used with the airbrush in enclosed spaces because they produce almost no vapors, dust, or smell whatever. Lacquers have gone out of favor among most modelers for a long time now, due to heavy restrictions in air shipping owing to their toxicity and flammability. Water-based acrylics are the paints of the present and the future, and will likely be the only paints available in model stores soon. For these reasons, the AMMO team has produced this complete Acrylics guide containing all the tips and techniques necessary for painting all genre of models, from figures and military vehicles to dioramas and aircraft. The book not only shows how to use the paints, but also explains proper use of auxiliary acrylic products, how to work with the airbrush, how to apply metallic colors, transparent colors and varnishes, and how to paint a model entirely with brushes. We explore the tools used as well as basic weathering techniques with non-toxic products. If you already use AMMO acrylics, this book is the basic guide to get the most out of your paints; if you previously painted with lacquer colors, this comprehensive work will allow you to discover all the advantages and possibilities of this safe, non-toxic product, which will provide you with countless moments of enjoyment practicing your favorite hobby. Soft cover. 108 pages and more than 500 high quality pictures.
