There is a new series of books dealing with all the techniques necessary to control oil painting, and at the same time Abteilung 502 has launched two sets of oil paints.

Mastering Oils 1, Oil Painting Techniques on AFVs, is the first one of a master series about oil painting. In this first one the master modeller Joaquín García Gázquez shows us how to use oils in the correct way; how to mix them, how to apply them, which tools are the best for handling them.

All the possibilities regarding oils applied on armoured fighting vehicles with step by step guides.
