In this volume, Alex Clark made an extensive conversion for an accurate representation of an Iraqi Type 69-II in 1/72 scale. He used as a base the T-54B Mid Production kit from AMMO Mig Jimenez A.MIG-8502. Alex explains his conversion and upgrade using his scratch-built parts, but also available commercial parts. Book has 57 photos from a total of 73 showing not only the amazing assembly work, but also the painting and the weathering process of the vehicle.
A nice addition is the detailed walkaround of a preserved Type 69-II command tank at the Bovington Tank Museum in the UK with 27 close-up photos. The photos are published with the owner, Scott Dimmick’s permission. The captions were written by Alex Clark.
