Just a Picture Book
Just buy it for the picture's. Very little if any help to the modeler. All three books are the same as for helping the modeler.

Verlinden's way with WWII Aircraft,
By A Customer
This review is from: WWII Aircraft Vol. II: Modeling, Detailing, Painting Weathering and Building Dioramas (Paperback)
Dioramas, a reproduction of scenes of battles or a representation of what is like to be at that period of time. And almost 99.9% are related to Armour or things on Land. With this book, Verlinden has help to open a new area in dioramas where many people have never thought off or simply believe its not possible with planes. Some of the diorama featured includes Ju-87 undergoing maintenance in North Africa, a B-17 that crash landed after returning from a mission, Me 110 or Me 262 preparing for the next mission. It teaches one how to built an model, where to get an idea, what is the colouring of the planes should be with huge and colored photos of the aircraft that is building, accompanied with some reference on what are the paints to use for washing and dry brushing to achieve the desire effect as well as the arrangement of accessories to make a beautiful dioramas. The book itself also offers alternatives of super detailing with aftermarket parts from Verlinden. Something that I like and dislike. I like it because I know what to get if I want to super detail my model, however I would prefer the useage of other items from other modelling companies. Even though Verlinden might be a master in modelling, that doesn't justify that his products surpass others, which is the reason why I don't give it a 5-star rating

Verlinden's Aircraft Modeling II,

This review is from: WWII Aircraft Vol. II: Modeling, Detailing, Painting Weathering and Building Dioramas (Paperback)
A very nice picture booklet; the detailed photos give an impression about the work and how a result can looks like. There are not realy hints how to work it out but very nice pictures. This booklet can be a motivation for the beginner and a box of ideas for the advanced.
