4.0 out of 5 stars great for beginers, great refference tables, July 7, 2006
By 
This review is from: Modeling Classic Combat Aircraft (Paperback)
The main value of this book comes from its three refference tables of paint colors, one for general country colors, and the other two tables for US, and Japan colors. All the tables list six possible manufacturers for the paint color and gives the manufacturer's stock number if they product that color.

The other chapter's simply appear to be a compilation of acticles from FineScale Modeler's magazine. So if you have read the magazine before then you will know the basic format of the chapters, where each chapter covers the construction of a model kit from box to shelf. The book covers different techniques from scratchbuilding new parts and altering the planes body, to drybrushing and weathering techniques. Overall I would say for begingers this is a valuable book to have on your shelf, but for experienced modlers I could only recommend it for the refference tables.
