                        I have a few good book sources that you could probably use. I don't know if any of these have already been posted, but i'll list them anyway.

                        1- German Army Uniforms & Insignia, 1934- 1945 by Brian L. Davis

                        2- The Armor and AFV series (don't know the author off the top of my head)Hmm

                        3- (always a good reference) German Armor 1934- 1945, i don't remember the full title.

                        Please feel free to post any other sources that you feel are applicable.

                        Auctung! Panzer!

                        Even though I dont do armor I love looking at references like these.

                        Also painting and weathering methods can be used on things other than armor.

                        That Brian L Davis book is a really good one. He also did a two Vol set on German airforce uniforms. My orihinal pair went missing a few years back and i was gutted. I have just ben able to find two more at a decent price.

                        For armour i am a big fan of the Panzer tracts books.

                        Squadron Signal do some good refernace books, but i have learnt to check info from their books as they are not always accurate. I try to get as wide a selection of books on the subjects i am most interested in.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
