Modelling the SdKfz 251 Halftrack (Osprey Modelling)

This is a very well put together booklet which covers both 1/72 and 1/35 scale kits. Too bad there is no modelling a 1/48 scale Sd Kfz 251, but the basic techniques still apply. Based from the booklet I'm working on a modification to my 1/48 scale AFV model kit. The book has a lot of step by step techniques along with numerous color pictures to go with the techniques. At the end of book there is a listing of various model companies who make the this vehicle in the different scales, a listing for after market Photo-etch sets, Tracks and Conversion kits. This is an all around very good book for the modeler, collector and those folks who want to do something different with their kit.

I have been very pleased with and impressed with the quality of Osprey publications. The Osprey Modeling series is focused on the modeling of specific weapon systems. Modelling the SdKfz 251 Halftrack provides information on the Schutzenpanzerwagen [SdKfz] 251 Halftrack, recommended materiel's and tools, suggestions for 1/72 and 1/35 modeling, variants of the SdKfz 251 Halftrack and suggestions for additional research. The book contains many illustrations about each step of the modeling process.Well-researched technical book with step-by-step instructions on modeling the WWII German SdKfz 251 Halftrack
