Building Revell's most popular models, the 1/12 scale Ford Mustang
Shelby GT500 car kit. This book covers building the kit several
ways, from nearly stock, to doing an an engine swap, to even a
themed project. You will know this car model inside and out, with
tips, examples, and full color images. While the kit is a good one,
offered by one of the Hobbies best known model companies, Revell,
this book will take the assembly of this kit to an even better
level. See what you can do with only a few modifications and
painting ideas. Step by step instructions show you ways you can
make your GT500 even better, but still enjoy the build with a
minimum of fuss.
The Avro Lancaster, such a stalwart of the skies during the Second
World War, also enjoyed an interesting and surprisingly colourful
post-war career. It is this era that the authors have chosen to
focus on by profiling the type across its many variants. Split into
three primary sections, this book offers a concise yet informative
history of the Lancaster's post-war operational career (from
1945-1965) charting the course of the various alterations and
improvements that occurred during this time and including a
selection of contemporary photographs with detailed captions. A
16-page section features 32 colour illustrations (in profiles,
2-views and 4-views) specially prepared by Mark Gauntlett. The
book's final section provides a list and box top illustrations of
the plastic model kits produced of the Lancaster in all scales plus
reviews and 'how to' construction notes on building a selection of
kits in 1/144, 1/72 and 1/48 scales. As with the other books in the
Flight Craft series, whilst published primarily with the scale
aircraft modeller in mind, it is hoped that those readers who might
perhaps describe themselves as 'occasional' modellers - if indeed
they model at all - may also find that this colourful and
informative work offers something to provoke their interests too.
