How to Paint Mid WWII German Tanks A.MIG-6303
How to Paint Mid WWII German Tanks A.MIG-6303 is a comprehensive 180-page bilingual guide that explores painting and weathering techniques for German armoured fighting vehicles used between February 1943 and September 1944. Authored by master modellers Daniele Guglielmi, David Pérez, John Bonanni, Mateusz Dzwisz, Mirko Brechmann, and Sungjun Jang, this volume provides a complete visual and technical reference for recreating the complex camouflage and surface finishes of the mid-war period. Each chapter offers a clear, photographic step-by-step process for achieving historically accurate results with realistic texture and tonal depth.
The book covers the transition from the earlier dark grey schemes to the mid-war three-tone system of Dunkelgelb, Olivgrün, and Schokobraun, showing how these colours were applied and weathered on vehicles like the Panther, Tiger, and Panzer IV. It also explains the proper application of Zimmerit anti-magnetic paste and how to replicate it in scale with convincing texture and wear. Through a series of detailed builds, the authors demonstrate techniques for painting, chipping, streaking, mud, dust, and grime, while also including tips for creating simple diorama bases that enhance realism.
