ISAF Vehicles Afghanistan 2007
This book covers the wheeled vehicles of the International Security
Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan which includes 37 nations. There
are 200 photo illustrations along with informative captions of these vehicles.
Each country in the ISAF offers such diversely useful vehicles which makes
this publication an interesting addition to anyone's technical or historical
library. The chapters covered in this book include:
Introduction: The author, Dick Taylor offers an informative repose of
the ISAF and its function in Afghanistan.
Vehicles: There are numerous type covered in this chapter such as the
LAV, Fuchs, Land Rover, Dingo, VAB, Hummer, Puma, and others in very nice
color photos. Some of these are vehicles that typical civilians would
own but modified for the military then there are those that were developed
strictly for the military. Also included are vehicle base spec listings.
Vehicle Camouflage and Markings: Numerous countries are helping the Afghan
government, besides the US and Great Britain, such as Germany, Greece,
France, Finland, Turkey, United Nations, Canada and others. It is interesting
to see each countries take of effective camouflage for its vehicles ranging
from standard olive green or sand to multicolor schemes.
Conclusion
I highly recommend the book even though a lot of the vehicles covered
are not available in kit form. The camo-scheme is useful to the modeler
who wants to emulate particular countries paint and markings. I would
like to thank Mushroom Model Publications
for the review book.
