Overview
Offers step—by—step instructions for building and painting Battle of Britain fighter models, complete with photos, history, and expert tips. Andy Singleton, in association with the Kent Battle of Britain Museum has produced an excellent guide to building and painting scale models of the iconic fighters involved in that critical struggle. Aimed at beginner and intermediate modellers, the step—by—step instructions will help the reader build a Supermarine Spitfire, Bolton—Paul Defiant, Messerschmitt Bf109 and Messerschmitt Bf110. Each build represents either an aircraft type, or colour scheme used during the Battle of Britain and Blitz periods. Archive photographs from the Kent Battle of Britain Museum support each build along with historical information on the part played by that particular plane and its crew in the battle. Each stage of the instructions is accompanied by a colour photograph and they guide the user through the process from the tools and materials required, preparation and construction of the model, painting using both brush and airbrush, and applying decals. There is even advice on displaying the finished models and incorporating them into dioramas, and on painting pilots and aircrew. It is packed full of professional hints and tricks of the trade, allowing the reader to create worthy scale tributes to these legendary aircraft.
