his volume is dedicated to 1/48, 1172, and 1/35 scale drawing of po t- World War (] armored vehicles from 1945 to 1990 and the Cold War period. However, it will by no means cover all the vehicle in thi period, but just th e for which we have completed drawings. Again, the drawings are organized in a more or less chronological order, working from the end of World War II up to early 1990. Detailed and clear overhead reference is very hard to come by for some of the e vehicles, and only the more common ones are covered here. There were also numerous changes made along the way, which resulted in characteristics that only appeared on a given model. This is by no mean a complete coverage of every vehicle from the Cold War, but it will be a great resource for anyone modeling thi period. The ultimate purpose of this book is to try to show plan-view scale drawings of the vehicles developed after World War II that are not shown in the earlier books. Most of the e drawings display 4-view plans, but with some of the smaller vehicle, we were able to how five or more views. However, no matter how well the plans are drawn, it will always be neces ary to have sufficient photo reference books as well. During this period, the Main Battle Tank emerged, and the terms Light, Medium, and Heavy Tank gradually disappeared. AI 0, the pecialized APC and IFYs came of age, and very deadly anti-tank weapons on light vehicles made their entrance.
Over the years, scale drawings of various armored vehicles have appeared in magazines and books, but never all in one place, where they would be easy for the researcher or modeler to acce them. Many different scales have fought for the limelight, but the more popular one of late have boiled down to mainly 1/35, 1/48, and 1172 in the armor modeling world. In this volume, since many of the vehicles are simply too large to print in 1/35 scale, the dominant scale are 1/48 and 1172. You will al 0 find a chart at the beginning of this book for reducing or enlarging any of these drawings to other popular scales. The quality and accuracy of modern photocopying houJd make it possible for you to achieve whatever final scale you require at the lower end of 1/48 and under. However, in some ca e where higher enlargement is required, you may find a certain degree of roughness. These drawing have been created u ing vector-ba ed drawing applications with line weight ranging from .25 point to I point and thus should easily hold the finer detail when copying. The bulk of these drawings were done over a period of ten years and are currently among the most precise and accurate AFV drawings available. You will also notice a variance in the drawings as the art style changes slightly over the years, but eventually supports shading in the majority of the later works.

The Tortoise. Heavy Assault Tank (~39) was a massive vehicle built along the same line of thinking as the German Jagdtlger. With a 32.-pdr gun and 9 Inches of frontal armor, it weighed in at 78 tons and had a speed of 12 mph. Secondary armament consisted of three Besa machine guns, one in the hull front and two in a small turret on top of the hull.

T29E3 Heavy Tank (prototype) Fitted with the T5E1 105mm gun and range finder.
The 18-7 was being developed near the end of World War 2 to go up against the latest German Tigers and other super tanks.
The IS-7 was armed with a 130mm naval gun and seven MGs, and weighing in at 68 metric tons, this was the heaviest tank built by the Soviet Union. A strange feature of this vehicle was that four of the 7.62 MGs were fitted in barbettes in the turret rear area.

Development of the T29 series of heavy tanks began late in WW2 in an attempt to stay abreast of German and Russian heavy tank development. When WW2 ended, series production was discontinued, but 8 test vehicles were built in the next few years. Lessons learned from these and many components were later incorporated into the postwar M103 heavy tank.

With the Cold War in full swing after WW2, the Russian 18-3 heavy tank posed a serious threat to the armor of the western powers. As an interim solution in 1950 while the heavy gun tank Conqueror was still being developed, the Conway, mounting a 120mm American L1A1 gun, was conceived. The high slab-sided turret was unavoidable and in itself raised the vehicle's center of gravity to a dangerous level. Trials of the Conway continued into 1952, but in the end, it was decided not to put the vehicle into production. Only one Conway was ever built, and it now stands on display at the RAC Tank Museum, Bovington, England.

GERMAN ARMOR IN ACTION
From the North African desert to the shores of Normandy, from Guadalcanal to the Battle of the Bulge, Allied troops participated in some of the most famous and pivotal battles of World War II. Whether in the turret of a Sherman tank, the cockpit of a P-Sl, or in a pair of muddied combat boots, they fought their way into history-and into the pages of these exciting books that tell their storie in words and pictures.
Whether spearheading the blitzkrieg in 1939-40 or going muzzle-to-muzzle with Soviet T-34s in the East, German panzers thundered aero the battlefield of World War II and revolutionized modern warfare. These heavily illustrated, large-format books place readers in the turret of Tigers, Elefants, and other lethal vehicle .
