mr Black Modelling Manuals

This is the first in a new series of highly illustrated books for the model maker. Basic Aviation Modelling is an excellent introduction to the art of making model aeroplanes from kits. High definition pictures take the reader through all the stages of making a variety of kits. The emphasis throughout is to make the tasks understandable in a step-by-step format. Working with readily available kits from Tamiya, Verlinden and Revell, 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. This series will build into a library of practical information for the modeller. Missing: last four pages.

This is the fifth title in the series and is intended to be a companion volume for Volume 3: Basic Military Vehicle Modelling and Volume 4: Advanced Military Vehicle Modelling. This title helps to complete the reader's knowledge of the skills and techniques required in military vehicle modelling. It covers such methods as scratch-building, superdetailing and the use of new materials including liquid plastic and photoetched details. These new techniques are vividly explained through a highly-illustrated, blow-by-blow guide to building a variety of kits, the M24 Chaffee, SdKfz 7/2 and 7/1, Bergepanther and many others.

This book tackles the complex problems posed by WWII figure modelling caused by the variety of combatants, uniforms, camouflage schemes, vehicles and weapons, the many theatres of war and the variety of terrain fought over.

WWII saw the development of a huge range of armed and unarmed military vehicles - anti-aircraft gun platforms, ambulances, artillery tractors, fuel bowsers, jeeps, trucks and troop carriers – these are essential for use in many dioramas and vignettes.
A perfect combination of easy-to-follow text combined with comprehensive step-by-step photography make Osprey Modelling Manuals indispensable reference guides for modellers of all standards and abilities.
