A handsome, well-bound trade paperback lavishly bedecked with an array of many fine colour photographs which take the reader through the stages of making a variety of kits. Basic Vehicle Modelling introduces the modeller to some basic model types with a series of close up, step by step photographs. Working with kits from Tamiya, Verlinden, Revell and others, the less experienced modeller is shown the do's and don'ts of modelling techniques, with particular emphasis on the common difficulties that the inexperienced modeller might face. Working with readily available kits from Tamiya, Verlinden and Revell, a series of vehicles are built and painted. This is a book for the advanced modeller who might find some of the advanced tips and tricks useful. This is not a book for the basic starting modeller.
