This review is from: Shipcraft 7 - British Battlecruisers of the Second World War (No. 7) (Paperback)

2007, paper covers, 8 1/2 x 11, 64 pages, prof illustrated., 32 color pages, , B&W and line drawings/

....The latest in this series covers the three ships of this First World War type, Hood, Repulse and Renown, which survived to fight in the Second World War. Still the fastest capital ships in the world in 1939, their protection was not up to contemporary standards and two were famously lost in action, Hood in an old-fashioned gunnery duel with the German battleship Bismarck, but Repulse succumbed to more modern threat of aerial attack from Japanese land based air -craft. The one modernized ship, Renown, survived an adventurous wartime career.

....This book will show ship modelers how to turn their kits into something really special, providing in-depth information about building and modifying model kits, but also offers an unparalleled level of visual information will also appeal to the more general warship enthusiast.Contained within the 64 pages (32 in color) are a brief history, historic photos, drawings, color illustrations, model kit reviews, reference list, and a gallery of built models.
