What do you think are the books all modelers need? These are the essential texts that make up a great modelers reference library. Of course there's a million books on any particular tank or airplane, but what are the ones that are absolute must haves?
How about this obvious start?-
General Modeling - Shep Paines Dioramas, Verlindent Way Vol 1
German AFVs overall - Peter Chamberlain and Chris Elliot's German Tanks and AFVs, Schieffer's Panzer, Bruce Culver's Panzers in Northwest Europe and Panzers in Russia 41-43

"The WW2 GI - US Army Uniforms 194-1945 (In Color Photographs)", Windrow and Hawkins.
If ya can't afford the $52, keep it checked out of the library as long as you can (or until, like me, the fines get high enough that it's just worth it to buy the book)

I d also add Shep Paines "modelling Tanks and Military vehicles " to the list

Tony Greenlands Panzer masterclass is a must have for sure. Bill Horan's figure book is a good addition also. One or two books on scenery/buildings helps also.
