Warpaint Armour 2: Nato Armour 1991-2020 Vallejo

"NATO Armour 1991-2020" is the third book in the series by Guideline License Publications and the team at Military Modelcraft International, in collaboration with Vallejo.

The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 should have marked a lasting "peace dividend" for NATO countries. Instead, within a decade, the "War on Terror" had refocused military spending away from the conventional weapons and heavy armour formations of the Cold War era. However, as NATO's level of commitment to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq declined, Russian aggression in Crimea and Ukraine led to a renewed emphasis on peer-to-peer warfare and a resurgence of more traditional forms of armoured firepower.

The publication examines in detail the armoured fighting vehicles employed by NATO armies, allies and partners from the end of the Cold War to the present day. From the powerful Leopard 2 main battle tank to the former Warsaw Pact vehicles now employed by NATO's Eastern European allies and partners.

Each article provides a unique historical perspective, well illustrated by carefully selected photographs and with individual vehicles illustrated in colour profiles. In addition to this superb reference material, a model gallery showcases some of the most inspiring NATO armour models from the pages of Military Modelcraft International.
