The first of three books to deal with this fascinating subject, 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. This series will build into a library of practical information for the modeller.
