RC tank models are particularly popular with many model makers, which is probably due to the technology and the completely different control method of these models. Tracked vehicle models are mostly all-metal models, but a combined construction of metal and plastic has also become popular, especially for kits. Now, it is not everyone's cup of tea to handle metal. Not every model maker has the knowledge, the manual skills and the technical equipment to build a tank model and to install the necessary electronics. For this group of interested people, the author describes the do-it-yourself construction of tank models with the help of kits. From the content: • armoured fighting vehicle IV • armoured fighting vehicle TIGER I • KÖNIGSTIGER armoured fighting vehicle • LEOPARD armoured combat vehicle • armoured fighting vehicle PANTHER A • and armoured fighting vehicle PANTHER G from Tamiya • Battle tank LEOPARD 2A5 from GRAUPNER • Transport tank FUCHS from AFV-model • Kits from Sonderfahrzeug-Modellbau Peter Müller: • Bergepanzer 3 BÜFFEL • Battle tank LEOPARD • anti-aircraft tank GEPARD • MARDER infantry fighting vehicle • and Airborne Tank WIESEL

The Sherman was the most widely used Allied tank of World War II and was built in larger numbers than all German tanks combined. There was also a huge number of variants, powered by different engines, and manufactured with different types of hulls and turrets. This book presents an expert guide to modelling the 75mm gun versions used by the US Army in the ETO, in 1/35 and 1/48 scale. The projects featured include an early M4A1 from Operation Husky (July 1943), an intermediate M4 during Operation Cobra (August 1944), an M4 mine-roller in the Ardennes (January 1945), and a M4A3 during Operation Grenade (February 1945).
