If you are looking for some good reference material for your FAMO, look no further then Nuts and Bolts Vol. 12. This excellent publication has wonderful close up detail shots and is a must for superdetailing the Tamiya Kit. The book is written with a slant towards modelers of this vehicle and points out the details overlooked by Tamiya. Starting out with an excellent history of the vehicle, it explains its many uses and introduces its variants.

Also included are many 1/35 scale sketches for not only the towing version, but the artillery, crane, and 88mm FlaK variants. Color plates show some very interesting paint schemes, and a little history of that specific vehicle. A bibliography is also included in the book for further research. It is definitely a great motivator to start that Tamiya kit!
