Download or read book How to Build and Modify Resin Aircraft Model Kits written by Richard Marmo and published by Voyageur Press (MN). This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resin model kits and conversion parts allow modellers to build unusual and obscure aircraft and aircraft variations. However, working with resin requires different techniques and materials that modellers may not be familiar with. Using step-by-step construction photos and a detailed text, this book gives modellers the information they need to confidently tackle any resin model aircraft project. Coverage includes a discussion of what resin is and how castings are produced, along with specific construction techniques, detailed information on tools and airbrushes, scales, glues and paints, conversions, resin and bare metal and how to properly display finished models. The techniques shown apply to any resin model kit or conversion, and much of the information applies to all model types and materials. With very little information available to help modellers build resin kits, this book will fill a gap on the shelves of many aero modellers.

Download or read book The Vintage Years of Airfix Box Art written by Roy Cross and published by Crowood Press UK. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airfix has been commercially producing plastic kits since 1952 and its models have been made by successive generations of young boys and men alike. In the 1960s, a talented graphic artist called Roy Cross was commissioned to paint some of the box art for Airfix, and for a ten-year-period he provided many of the glorious paintings seen on the boxes, setting new standards for realism and accuracy. Many are still being used today, a full four decades later. Inside the pages of this book are some of Roy's best artworks, shown here in full format and in superb detail, with many reproduced here in book form for the very first time. As well as his vintage box art, Roy has included many sketches and alternative versions of his Airfix box art. After Roy left Airfix in 1974, the company went through a turbulent time. The present owners are Hornby, who have ambitious plans for Airfix and the other brands it acquired including Scalextric and Corgi. The decade that Roy Cross worked for Airfix, though, could be classed as their vintage era, with some of their finest models being produced then in their millions, ready for eager youngsters to build up into detailed miniature models of their favorite aircraft, ships and locomotives.

Download or read book Ship Models from Kits written by David Griffith and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past thirty years the world of model kits has undergone a veritable revolution. New techniques in injection moulding have improved the scale accuracy and surface detail of the humble plastic kit, while many specialist companies now produce top-quality resin models, vastly broadening the range of subjects on the market. However, the really radical change has been the advent of photo-etched brass fret, which allows the finest detail to be reproduced to scale. In ship modelling, this has resulted in a new form of the hobby, mid-way between traditional build-from-the-box simplicity and the time-consuming demands of fabricating everything from scratch. These new materials have prompted innovative techniques, which are comprehensively demonstrated in this new manual. Designed for those wishing to achieve the best results from their ship kits in the 1:700 to 1:350 range of scales, it uses step by step photographs to take the reader through the building of two models, one in plastic and one in resin, from basic construction, fittings and detailing, to painting, finishing and display. Written by a highly experienced, award-winning ship modeller, the book is a showcase for the contemporary approach to the hobby.

Download or read book Admiral Hipper Class Cruisers written by Steve Backer and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: remove from The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic survey of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references—books, monographs, large-scale plans and websites.The subject of this volume is the largest and most sophisticated German cruiser class of WW2. The five ships suffered very different fates. Blucher was sunk during the invasion of Norway in 1940, whereas Admiral Hipper fought right through the war. The most famous, Prinz Eugen, escaped when Bismarck was sunk and survived to be expended in a postwar Atomic bomb test. Seydlitz was intended to be converted to an aircraft carrier, but never finished, while Lutzow was sold to Russia and sunk by her erstwhile owners.
