[Chino Fernandez · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book contains mostly already finished illustrations of certain vehicles, so there isn't really much of a how-to-draw element. I also noticed the art seems similar to famous pictures of the vehicle or scale model kit boxart, so I suspect the artist is a modeler. The drawings also look similar to illustrations of vehicles in Tamiya instructions. However, the drawings are very well-made. This is a reference mainly on how existing vehicles are drawn in line art form. I am disappointed though that certain favorite vehicles, like the P-47 Thunderbolt and the M-60 tank, were left out. Perhaps it's because the kits for these were not yet released. But I like looking through it, if only to be awed by military vehicles in line art form.
