FC Model Trends announces their new book, dedicated to the AMX-13 tank in Lebanon. The book covers both the real vehicle and kits at 1/35 and 1/72.
Written hand by hand by Federico Collada and Sam Assad, this is the fifth book of the Blue Steel collection.

The book covers both the real vehicle and the new Takom kits as well as the Model Miniature 1/72 resin kit.

It has 108 full colour pages with hundreds of photographs of the real vehicle taken at various museums, parades, live fire raids and scrapyards.

The modelling articles cover the new Takom kits as well as the Model Miniature 1/72 resin kit, and are mostly focused on heavy weathering of military vehicles, taking as a reference the scrapyard photos. The models included are the recent Takom ones of both 75 and 90mm gun, finished with very simple techniques that can be easily reproduced by any medium average modeller in the same style as the ones depicted in the FCModeltips 1 book.

The Blue Steel 5 AMX-13 in Lebanon will be distributed by FCModeltips through their webstore and there is a special site where you can download some sample pages

The new book wiil be ready on the 1st May and you can make your pre-order at www.fcmodeltrend.com to receive a special gift consisting in a collection of 1/35 scale political posters of the Lebanon civil war 1975-1990.
