Description
The French Armor is a specialized modeling guide dedicated to French World War II armored vehicles and the techniques required to paint and weather them realistically.
The book focuses entirely on 1/35 scale French WWII vehicles based on Tamiya kits, presenting detailed step-by-step builds from experienced modelers.
In addition to painting and weathering techniques, the publication also provides historical background on the 1940 French campaign and the often misunderstood performance of French armored vehicles during the early war period.
The book combines:
• Historical background
• Construction and painting techniques
• Weathering methods
• Diorama inspiration
• Realistic vehicle finishing
French armored vehicles from this era offer unique opportunities for modelers thanks to their distinctive shapes, camouflage schemes, and historical settings.
