The aircraft modeling hobby has undergone dramatic changes in the last ten years. New manufacturing technologies and the rise of China have combined to make this a golden age in terms of the variety and availability of models. But these advancements can also make the hobby intimidating for those starting out. In this new edition in Osprey's Masterclass series, Brett Green describes the kits, accessories, decals and references that are now available and demonstrates a wide variety of paint types, thinners and application methods in both words and pictures. He also covers painting effects such as mottling, soft-edged camouflage demarcation, masking and weathering. This is the perfect book for the beginner and the seasoned modeler alike.

The PzKpfw V Panther is considered to be one of the finest tanks of World War II due to its combination of mobility, firepower and armour. Developed as a response to the Soviet deployment of heavy armour on the Eastern Front, and later to serve in Normandy and Northwest Europe, the Panther established its reputation as one of the first truly universal tanks and its influence can be seen in the design of modern battle tanks to this day. This book details how to model the main variants of this fascinating and significant World War II tank, and it provides a listing the main kits and aftermarket sets available.

Baseboards are the foundation of every model railway and if poorly made can lead to much frustration, disappointment, wasted time and money. Despite this, many modellers often skimp or rush their construction in their eagerness to get on with the more interesting parts of building a layout. The book gives a complete introduction to the basic tools, materials and techniques needed to construct a foundation for a layout of any size or scale. Starting from the traditional solid top baseboard and working through to more advanced designs, step by step guides demonstrate the techniques for assembling one of the most important components of your model railway. In addition topics such as making your layout portable or transportable, fascia panels, methods of joining baseboards together and the legs that support them are discussed. This book will appeal to both beginners to the hobby and those who are about to embark on the construction of a new layout. It offers a useful reference guide to the wide variety of baseboard types and materials available to the railway modeller.

Over recent years there has been an increasing trend in railway modelling circles to replicate not just the railway itself, but also, the broader environment in which the railway was found. This involves recreating the whole townscape or countryside in which the railway operated, realising that the backdrop to the route portrayed is now as much a part of history as the locomotives and rolling stock that operated on it. As essential ingredient in recreating this accurate backdrop to the railway is the range of road vehicles that could be seen in the locality. From trams and trolleybuses in the urban environment through to tractors and other farm vehicles in the countryside, accurate representation of these vehicles can add a great deal to the model railway. Moreover, with recent technical advances, it is now possible to see these road vehicles actually in operation. This can add another dimension to the scene being recreated in model form. However, in trying to replicate these scenes, the modeller is faced with a daunting array of different vehicle types and scales, some of which may be right for their layout whilst others are wholly inappropriate. This book takes the modeller, both the beginner and the more experienced practitioner, through the complex subject of adding road vehicles to their layout. Providing useful information about scale, relevance, operation and much more, it offers all modellers a detailed guide to a subject which can be confusing, but which, if got right, will greatly enhance the appearance and authentic look of any model railway. Profusely illustrated throughout, this third title in our new 'Aspects of Modelling' series, will be of use to all modellers, irrespective of the scale in which they are working.

A convincing paint finish is essential for any model, be it military or civilian, aircraft, vehicles, figures or even background items such as terrain or buildings - and good airbrushing and finishing techniques can be the key to creating a superior model. Over the last few years there have been huge strides made in the development of airbrushes, paints and thinners, and consequently, this new book will provide up-to-date practical information and illustrated techniques to take full advantage of these new technologies. Brett Green details the prerequisites of airbrushing, including the different types of spray equipment and air sources available, offering advice on appropriate thinners, paint ratios and air pressures to ensure the most appropriate paint coverage across a range of different airbrushing applications. He then examines various airbrushing techniques across a wide range of models. Ten step-by-step, illustrated case studies ranging from heavily weathered military aircraft to pristine, high gloss motor vehicles, science fiction models, fantasy figures, groundwork and buildings will complete this in-depth guide to getting the best results on your models.

В этой книге, написанной для тех, кто своими руками хочет строить модели судов и кораблей, кратко рассказывается о развитии отечественного кораблестроения и выдающихся русских корабелах, создавших новые конструкции кораблей. Читатель получит сведения по теории корабля и необходимые знания по строительству моделей, устройству и эксплуатации микродвигателей и движителей, автоматике и приборах, с помощью которых модель на расстоянии выполняет команды. В книге говорится и о том, как оборудовать мастерскую и организовать соревнования по судомодельному спорту. Словом, в ней есть все, чтобы юный корабел научился строить точную, хотя и маленькую, копию корабля. В работе над книгой большую помощь фотоматериалами оказали контр-адмиралы-инженеры запаса Н.П.Чикер и А.Б.Зубков, контр-адмирал-инженер Р.Д.Филонович, капитан 1 ранга-инженер Д.М.Негодаев, капитан I ранга в отставке И.А.Быховский, инженеры В.К.Токмаков, Н.В.Максимов, Н.П.Пегов и А.К.Перьков.
