AMERICAN MILITARY VEHICLES – CAMOUFLAGE PROFILE GUIDE

American Military Vehicles - Camouflage Profile Guide

This is a book, not a kit. At AK interactive a Profile Guide is a type of publication built on color side profiles: instead of a step-by-step manual you get a visual overview of finishes and markings, which serves as a reference when you decide how to paint a model. This title is devoted to American military vehicles and their camouflage schemes.

What the publication is good for

• A reference for laying out the camouflage: where the patches begin, how they run across the edges and how large they are in relation to the vehicle.
• A basis for deciding on the shades before you open the first bottle.
• An overview of the markings and their placement on the hull and on the superstructures.
• Reference you can come back to across several builds, not just for one model.

How to work with the profiles

A profile is a visual reference, not a binding color standard: always follow the recommendation of the paint manufacturer when you reproduce a shade. There is no need to look for conversion tables to specific shades in the book; its focus is the visual overview of finishes and markings. Language editions of AK interactive books come out under separate codes, so when choosing, follow the exact wording of the title.

Who it is for

For modelers of American vehicles who want their finishes and markings backed by a visual reference, and for builders of dioramas where several vehicles are meant to look like one whole. It also serves those who are choosing between the options in a box and want to see how a scheme looks on the whole vehicle, not just on a small drawing in the instructions. The content is technical and documentary, without historical commentary.

The publication is supplied on its own. The model, decals and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
