The Airbrush Company Ltd tells us the above and a bit more:
This is the first painting guide produced in close collaboration with LifeColor Acrylic Paints by Astromodel S.A.S from Italy. This unique book series includes painting and general modelling techniques covering a wide variety of scale models.
In these books you’ll find the essential information for painting, weathering and finishing your favourite scale models to the highest level while getting the best of LifeColor paints and products. Each theme will have a full list of the LifeColor paint chips that were used for the painting and weathering processes.
Available information on historical facts and real equipment will be added in most cases that will enrich the contents of the books and impart some interesting information to readers.
