Book Description

November 9, 2002
Resin model kits and conversion parts allow modelers to build unusual and obscure aircraft and aircraft variations. However, working with resin requires different techniques and materials that modelers may not be familiar with. Using step-by-step construction photos and a detailed text, this book gives modelers the information they need to confidently tackle any resin model aircraft project.

Coverage includes a discussion of what resin is and how castings are produced, along with specific construction techniques, detailed information on tools and airbrushes, scale jumping and model math, glues and paints, conversions, resin and bare metal, and how to properly display finished models. The techniques shown apply to any resin model kit or conversion, and much of the information applies to all model types and materials.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything how to use Resin, May 5, 2003

This review is from: How to Build and Modify Resin Model Aircraft Kits (Paperback)
This book is an encyclopedia about working with resin, but very good and easy reading. It's complete, because every chapter add something you probably just learned, that's what I felt after reading this beautifull book which is full of coloured pictures. And if you don't have already an display case, than at the end of the book you find an display case that you couldn't ignore.

This review is from: How to Build and Modify Resin Model Aircraft Kits (Paperback)
This book provided exactly the information I was seeking. Photos were well composed and in full color. The subjects used to convey the necessary information were well chosen to make sure the techniques and process were fully described. This is a very good reference for someone eary in their experience in working with resin based models.

This review is from: How to Build and Modify Resin Model Aircraft Kits (Paperback)
I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of knowledge, and the occasional comical remarks by the author, Mr. Marmo. He has been kind enough to share his considerable experience and knowledge with anyone fortunate enough to read this book. Each chapter discusses in detail a different facet of a successful resin build, whether it be planes, tanks, materials, etc. There is a supplier source for modelers in the last few pages of the book, that alone is worth the price. I consider this a valuable addition to my model building library.
