This is a general query about the above French publisher. I have read on another forum that they aren't to be trusted with their colours. Has anyone on this forum found that to be the case? I have a copy of their Tanks of WWII and was thinking of using it as a reference. They seem to also have a range of modelling mags mainly aimed at the 1/35th scale IIRC but the colour schemes would be useful.

thanks guys,

That book is as good as it gets. The magazine pics are sometimes dark, but still valid.
What exactly did the detractor say? Jean Restayn is often used in JJF books & more; he's been accused of inserting details absent in the parent photograph, but the colors are good.
