Description

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, and 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 colour 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 new volume deals with the classes which represent the whole inter-war development of British destroyers, from the prototypes Amazon and Ambuscade of 1926 – the first new post World War I design – to the powerful and radically different Tribal' class a decade later. These ships formed the backbone of Royal Navy destroyer flotillas in the Second World War. AUTHOR: Les Brown is a leading light in the Small Ships Group of the International Plastic Modellers Society and the editor of their Newsletter. He has previously contributed to the Flower Class Corvettes volume in this series. 130 b/w & colour illustrations
