A lavishly illustrated book offering detailed how-to steps to build military models of the British & Commonwealth forces in multiple modelling scales in the Second World War. The book consists of scratch built, conversions and basic kit models of famous military vehicles built to a high standard through the entire process that will appeal to all modellers from beginner to advanced. With the growing amount of British and Commonwealth subjects being produced, now seemed the perfect time to create a book that explores these often overlooked subjects. I now have the option to build a motorcycle my mother rode in Berlin, the motorcycle my uncle used in Europe in 44/45 or a Ford 3 ton lorry that my father drove in Holland or even the Daimler armoured car he commanded in Korea. I am sure the same goes for many others who had relatives in the wars of the early 20th century that being able to replicate these vehicles gives them a sense of closeness and understanding and a way to bring history alive. AUTHOR: Sean is a military vehicle restorer and military model maker in addition to hauling massive construction equipment to worksites all across Ontario, Canada. He is the author of Building A World War Two Jeep: Finding, Restoring, and Rebuilding a Wartime Legend. 250 colour illustrations
