The third volume in the VERLINDEN WAY series, this one takes an in-depth look at scale aircraft modeling. It covers everything from tools, workbenches, and specialty products, to tips and techniques developed by the author himself to deal with every aspect of construction, detailing, painting, and weathering scale aircraft models. This book is packed with a wealth of information that, if followed, can develop the skills of any aircraft modeler. Drawing on, among others, 9 separate dioramas (from fast jets, to helicopters, to vintage WWII fighters) for photographic examples, this work guides the reader through all of the basic skills required to become a successful modeler. This inspiring and informative book belongs in the collection of every military modeler, aircraft or armor.

This review is from: The Verlinden Way, Vol. 3: On Plastic Wings - A Complete Guide to Plastic Aircraft Modelling (Paperback)
The book offers a wealth of building, detailing and painting techniques for aircraft, even including plenty of dioramas. The subjects go from WWII fighters (the best: a crashed F4U Corsair) to modern jets, including some helicopters.While washes don't work for me (I prefer weathering with pastels), I have applied most of the suggested techniques, and they *work*! I would recommend these book highly, and it should be on your library, along with Sheperd Paine's "HOW TO BUILD MILITARY DIORAMAS", so as to have the best possible material.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Suffers from the translation !,
By S.J. GOMEZ, JR. (Lake Charles, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Verlinden Way, Vol. 3: On Plastic Wings - A Complete Guide to Plastic Aircraft Modelling (Paperback)
This book was evidently written in French and translated to English. Mr. Verlinden needed to hire better translators and proof readers for this book. There are numerous misspelled words, not just typos! The phrase usage AND misspellings makes this one hard to follow, especially for young readers. The information offered is excellent but almost not worth the hassle. Beginners in the plastics modeling world might be discouraged by the difficulty of the text. As he says in this book, "For the occasional modeller (misspelled: should be modeler) it is too much of an investment." He is referring to piles of magazines and books. Buyers of this book should probably visually scan through this one before purchasing to see if it is worth the seemingly inflated purchase price.
