Other Axis & Allied Armored Fighting Vehicles: World War II AFV Plans

By George Bradford

This fully illustrated volume presents an authoritative and highly detailed study of WWII’s lesser-known armored fighting vehicles.
 
The iconic tanks of WWII, such as America’s Shermans and the Germany’s Panzers, have been exhaustively studied. In Other Axis & Allied Armored Fighting Vehicles, military historian and technical artist George Bradford offers an in-depth look at a range of significant yet often-overlooked models. 
 
This volume is filled with fine-scale drawings of Australian, Belgian, Canadian, Czech, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, and South African armored vehicles, including:
·       Centauro Tank Destroyer (Italy)
·       TKS Light Reconnaissance Tank (Poland)
·       Ram “Kangaroo” Personnel Carrier (Canada)
·       Renault R-35 Light Tank (France)
·       Type 3 Chi-nu Heavy Tank (Japan)
·       Scorpion AC1 Cruiser Tank (Australia)
·       TACAM R-2 Tank Hunter (Romania)
·       And many, many more . . .
