Aircraft Modelling: Conversions, Scratchbuilding and Superdetailing

Master modellers guide ambitious builders through advanced plastic modelling, boosting skills, imagination, and inspirational results.

Aircraft Modelling presents a distinguished line-up of master modellers to guide you through the essential aspects of advanced plastic modelling. Via a combination of immaculate photographs, step-by-step instructions, friendly advice, and easy-to-follow techniques, you will be shown how to convert, modify, and superdetail kits, how to model resin and vacuform parts and kits, and even how to scratchbuild entire models. This book will not only greatly improve your modelling skills and efficiency, it will encourage you to push your boundaries, to engage your imagination, and to create models that will go on to inspire others.

Moore has been studying aircraft for over forty years and has had numerous books published on Soviet aviation, including
Il-2 Shturmovik: Red Avenger, Lavochkin Fighters of the Second World War, and Tupolev Tu-2:
The Forgotten Medium Bomber. His interest extends also to British aircraft, which he has studied and modelled for decades. He is particularly interested in British aircraft of the Second World War and post-war British piston-engined aircraft.
