"This is a new departure for the Osprey Modelling series, dealing not with modeling a particular aircraft or tank but with the actual techniques used for all plastic modeling... All of the techniques here can be applied to any aircraft model -- making this an ideal book for a novice modeler as well as a handy reminded of how some techniques work for those of us who don't use some of them very often.

If you are looking for books that provide the high detailing to take your miniatures to the next level, you should check these books out." --Michael Koznarsky, Historical Miniature Gamer (Issue 11) "As a plastic modeler for more than 50 yeras, I found this a handy source of ideas and hints-some of which may well show up in my modeling columns in future issues of Aviation History." --Dick Smith, Aviation History (May 2009) ..".this book is packed with useful information for the new modeler... Each of [the] chapters is amply illustrated, with the captions providing as much information as the text itself...
