I've found that they can be hard to come by. Is this one of them? Well, it's not at the top of my list but yeah, I would recommend this book for any armor modeler. The book is nice with the spiral binding. Wish more were like that. The information is presented well with great pictures to make it clear. You should definitely learn something with the information presented here. My only complaints would be that it spends too much time with smaller scale modeling. Most of the techniques also include examples of 1/72 and 1/48. I only model in 1/35 so that's wasted for me but may be great for you. I think some of the techniques presented are a little old school which reminded me of things I would do when I was young and didn't have the money to buy dedicated tools. Not saying that's bad, and I suppose gets the job done. Also nothing wrong with saving money and using stuff you can find around the house. In my opinion, some of the painting techniques are also dated and don't seem to be real strong. Don't get me wrong, they are superior, but not really current. Just think Sheppard Paine - outstanding stuff but a little plain compared to some of today's modellers. Of course that is just my opinion. Some really hate all the chipping and pigments used today. Nonetheless, I recommend this book and I will be using it for reference in my future builds. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Zaloga's Essential Guide for the Serious Modeler *by P***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2012* As said in the previous reveiws this very instructional and in depth guide book is aimed at 1/35 scale but does cover a little in 1/48 and 1/72.The introduction does a fairly good job of letting you know Mr. Zaloga and his take on accurate scale modeling and it's evolution. His personality shows through giving the attentive reader more than just a how-to book on models but just a bit of his life and work.Most guides I have from Osprey are made for the construction of one given item or piece of equipment. They have also helped produce many great historical textbooks on just about every war or nation worth modeling. Mr. Zaloga points out specifically that is not his goal in doing this book. It's all about the mass amount of skill he wishes to share, Master Artist to the apprentice.With seven chapters (construction tips/tricks, painting techniques, stowage and tools, the human factor, setting the scene, photography, and a short two page further reading section) and lots of pictures and examples this is really a great guide for the novice to expert. There are many good suggestions by Zaloga on were to go on the Web to find help and information.A great "FIRST BOOK" and go to introduction into a world of model building. I hope you enjoy Mr. Zaloga as much as I did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Extensive Tome on Modeling... *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 8, 2012* Steven Zaloga, as I understand it, is a noted expert in many areas of modeling, including paint colors for US World War II vehicles. His research on WWII Olive Drab, combined with recommendations for this book, was my motivation to purchase it. I think it was well worth the price. While focused on US WWII vehicles, many of the techniques discussed are applicable to other models, too. Almost 200 pages, wire bound for easily laying flat, there are a huge number of color photos, and the book covers all the basics of modeling, including such things as glues/cements, basic construction techniques, painting, weathering, tool and stowage on vehicles, figures, and dioramas. This is an absolutely ideal book for new modelers (which I am closer to being than an experienced expert), but the long time modeler could benefit from new ways of looking at things, too. Overall, a great book. It even addresses how to do photography of your models, which is becoming more and more relevant, since there are so many modeling websites and forums, which almost require photos in order to fully participate in the online banter.I think this is a really nice publication, highly recommended. I know I'd be more than willing to buy another Zaloga book for other modeling subjects that interest me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/9364335-modeling-us-armor-of-world-war-2-modelling-masterclass-hardcover](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/9364335-modeling-us-armor-of-world-war-2-modelling-masterclass-hardcover) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
