The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building
and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly
illustrated, each book takes the modeler through a brief history of
the subject class, using scale plans to highlight differences
between sisterships and changes in their appearance over their
careers, then moves to an extensive photographic survey of either a
high-quality model or a surviving example of the ship. Hints on
building the model, and on modifying and improving the basic kit,
are followed by a section on paint schemes and camouflage,
featuring numerous color profiles and highly-detailed line
drawings. The strengths and weaknesses of available kits of the
ships are reviewed, and the book concludes with a section on
research references - books, monographs, large-scale plans and
relevant websites. This volume features the King George V class
battleships, the most modern Royal Navy battleships of WW2 and a
very popular modeling subject. The King George V herself helped
sink the Bismarck, and the Prince of Wales was famously sunk by
Japanese aircraft in the Far East. Ships of this class served
throughout the war in many theatres, and their changes of armament
and color scheme during this time offer many opportunities to the
ship modeler to modify basic kits to show ships at different
periods in their lives.
