Editorial Reviews

Review

"As a plastic modeler for more than 50 yeras, I found this a handy source of ideas and hints-some of which may well show up in my modeling columns in future issues of Aviation History." -Dick Smith, Aviation History (May 2009)

"Osprey's Modelling series shows how advanced modelers use their knowledge, skills and expertise to create incredibly and correctly detailed models of all sorts... Each book discusses how a variety of model kits are used to make authentic looking WWII vehicles... If you are looking for books that provide the high detailing to take your miniatures to the next level, you should check these books out." -Michael Koznarsky, Historical Miniature Gamer (Issue 11)

"This is a new departure for the Osprey Modelling series, dealing not with modeling a particular aircraft or tank but with the actual techniques used for all plastic modeling... All of the techniques here can be applied to any aircraft model - making this an ideal book for a novice modeler as well as a handy reminded of how some techniques work for those of us who don't use some of them very often. Very highly recommended!" -John Prigent, Internet Modeler (April 2008)

"...this book is packed with useful information for the new modeler... Each of [the] chapters is amply illustrated, with the captions providing as much information as the text itself... For a novice modeler, this book will be of great use, as it presents a great number of useful tips in a single reference." -Chris Banyai-Riepl, Internet Modeler (April 2008)

"Overall an excellent book for those seeking more information on how to build a model aircraft. A book that is really a must have for the beginning modeler and one that those seeking to better their current skills will find of interest." -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (April 2008)

Product Description

Brett Green, one of the hobby's leading names, provides a comprehensive introduction to all of the basic techniques and materials needed to build scale aircraft, from first opening the kit box to displaying the finished model - all in one clear and easy-to-follow expert guide.

This is an essential resource for the novice aircraft modeller.

2.0 out of 5 stars For The Most Novice Of Modelers, June 29, 2008
By Don Richards (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modelling Scale Aircraft (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
If you have built more than three or four models you already have all the skills described in this book. This is a great book for a beginner but has nothing to offer for anyone with even rudimentary skills. I never would have purchased this book had I seen it in a store.

4.0 out of 5 stars Modeling Scale Aircraft, September 1, 2008
This review is from: Modelling Scale Aircraft (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
Good handbook for the beginner & intermediate modeler who would like to expand their building skills. Well written by one very fine modeler who has one of the best modeling sights on the net. Great photos & a nice veriety of aircraft types get one motivated to hit the modeling bench.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful and easy understandable, April 17, 2008
This review is from: Modelling Scale Aircraft (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
If you want to have a good and helpful guide in how to build and detail a scale model, then you must not miss this book. In very clear words and good pictures it describes the how-to's and you see the result as a reference for your own work. So if you want to become an expert, don't miss this opportunity.
