The latest volume covers the hugely important American carrier of
the Second World War. Built in larger numbers than any fleet
carrier before or since, the Essex class can claim to be the US
Navy's most significant weapon in the defeat of Japan. Carrying up
to 100 aircraft and capable of absorbing enormous punishment (not
one was sunk), they spearheaded the Fast Carrier Task Forces for
most of the Pacific War.The heavily illustrated work contains
everything a modeller needs to know about this prolific class.
The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building
and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly
illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history
of the subject class, highlighting differences between sisterships
and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes
paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and
highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling
section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits,
lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships,
and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This
is followed by an extensive photographic survey of selected
high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes
with a section on research references - books, monographs,
large-scale plans and relevant websites. This volume is devoted to
the famous ships of Admiral Hipper's First Scouting Group. Slower
but more robust than their British equivalents, German
battlecruisers enjoyed a reputation for absorbing punishment, and
although Lutzow was sunk at Jutland, Seydlitz and the rest of the
Scouting Group survived heavy damage.This book concentrates on the
seven completed ships but coverage extends to the
'proto-battlecruiser' Blucher and the ships building or designed by
the end of the war.
