Authors: Mark Bannerman Dinesh Ned About this book The Churchill saw much action in World War II, from the 1942 raid on Dieppe, through the heat of the battles in North Africa, to the bitter fighting in Normandy 1944 & into the Reich in 1945. Despite criticism that it was slow & outmoded in terms of design, it proved itself a rugged & solid vehicle. This title provides a comprehensive guide to modelling the Churchill across a range of skill levels, featuring challenging builds of numerous marks & variants, including brideglayers, flame-throwers (such as the Crocodile) & customised assault vehicles (such as the spigot-mortar armed ARVE).

Author: Roy Sutherland About this book First entering service in 1941 the legendary 'all-wooden' Mosquito was one of the best twin-engined aircraft of its size to see action in World War II. The addition of radar turned the Mosquito into the RAF's premier night fighter, & it achieved great success in the defence of Britain, with some 600 raiders & 600 V1 rockets falling to its guns between 1942 & 1945. The design's superb performance, & ability to escape interception by enemy fighters also made the Mosquito the ideal choice for the RAF's photographic reconnaissance force. This wide range of roles across multiple theatres & air forces are all reflected in the variety of kits built & colour schemes shown throughout this book. Contents Foreword · Introduction · Building the Tamiya 148-scale de Havilland · Converting Tamiya’s 172-scale Mosquito FB Mk. VI to a NF Mk. XIII · Converting Tamiya’s 148-scale Mosquito B Mk. IV to a PR Mk. XVI · Converting Tamiya’s 148-scale Mosquito NF Mk. XIII to an NF Mk. XIX · Gallery · Further reading · Index Paperback; August 2005; 80 pages; ISBN: 9781841767659 ...

Author: Mark Glidden About this book The F4F Wildcat was an aircraft of the type of which legends are made. Without the handling performance that made the Japanese Zero so famous, it was well regarded for its ruggedness & firepower &, in the hands of a skilled pilot who understood both its strengths & weaknesses, it was capable of holding its own against the best that its opponents had to offer. This book details projects that encompass four variants of the F4 Wildcat. As they were supplied to a number of air forces during the war, including the RAF, there is a wide range of markings available to modellers which are also dealt with in detail. Covering a range of modelling abilities from a beginner's first build to an expert scratch-building extras, this book is illustrated with full-colour step-by-step photographs. Contents Introduction · The F4F-4 Wildcat in detail · Desert cat – Hasegawa’s 172-scale Martlet III · Mc Cuskey’s Midway ride – converting Tamiya’s 148-scale F4F-4 to the F4F-3 Wildcat · Mixed-breed cat – using Tamiya’s 148-scale F4F-4 Wildcat to improve the Sword 148-scale FM-2 · A cat takes to water – converting the Tamiya F4F-4 to the F4F-3S Wildcatfish · Building techniques · Wildcat kits & accessories · Museums & collections · Further reading, video & websites · Index Paperback; October 2007; 80 pages; ISBN: 9781846031106 ...
