I think this is only the second post I've made here this year...pretty sad. Yesterday, my mother called and a Christmas box, which had been shipped as 2-Day, Priority Mail from Michigan on 5 December, FINALLY arrived at her house here in Florida. I got cleaned up and zipped over to her house to have a mini, second Christmas with her. She got some outstanding gifts that really would have been nice to get on time. I got a nice scented candle, some gourmet holiday coffee, and then...the BIG gift:  For those who don't know, this is the new, extended and updated 2020 second edition printing of this "essential" guide for WWII armor modelers (or just enthusiasts). There is also a second volume just for WWII aircraft modelers. Here is the description from the AK Interactive site: "This publication is an updated and extended edition of our book Real Colors of WWII released in 2017. It describes the camouflage development and colors of the German, Soviet, US and British army vehicles during WWII. The team of authors has been expanded: renowned German researcher Johannes Denecke is responsible for the revision of the German chapter. The Soviet and British chapters have also been updated by Przemyslaw Skulski and Mike Starmer, respectively. Real Colors of WWII Armor has a total of 228 pages and is profusely illustrated with 244 archive photos (inc. 54 in original color), 50 modern photographs of preserved artifacts, numerous color chips, several reproductions of original color samples, camouflage drawings and other documents, and 43 colour profiles of which more than half has been specially commissioned for this edition. This is the new definitive guide on the WWII AFV colors for the modellers, wargamers and armchair historians." |

Nice going last year, folks! In spite of all that was happening!
