World War II US Army Fighter Modelling (Modelling Masterclass)

by JerryScutts (Author)

Synopsis

An overview of the plastic model construction kits that depict United States Army Air Forces aircraft of World War il, this book is crammed full of photographs of Airacobras, Black Widows, Lightnings, Mustangs, Thunderboits and Warhawks. Model making today is so advanced that modellers often have, in a single box, a kit of museum quality with most of the necessary accessories and decals included. So whether the individual modeller's interest is the markings carried by American air aces or the aircraft flown by the 6th Night Fighter Squadron, this book will offer advice on the best kit and decals to use.
