5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for the ship modeller
I found this book to be a great addition to my modelling library, one that I am sure I will refer to time and time again.

3.0 out of 5 stars A-Z survey of RC Ship modeling lacks detail

This review is from: Working Scale Model Merchant Ships (Hardcover)
The book presents an overview of RC merchant ship modeling. While the book may be useful for orienting a beginning modeler in the right direction, those that are looking for solid tips and ideas for a particular project will come up lacking.

The color photo on the dust jacket is great. Unfortunately all the photos inside are black and white.

I found the chapter describing hull building to be particualry disappointing. The text was not clear and the diagrams weak.

The author is British and cites products and supplies using British trade names. There is no glossary to help US readers find suitable American equivalents.
