SHIP CRAFT 7: British Battlecruisers of the Second World War, Revised Edition

A comprehensive guide to modeling the Royal Navy's Hood, Repulse, and Renown, including history, kits, and modifications. Lavishly illustrated, contains a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sisterships and changes in their appearance over their careers. Includes details on paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles, highly-detailed line drawings, and scale plans. 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 models in a variety of scales, and concludes with a section on research references -- books, monographs, large-scale plans, and relevant websites. Contains 130 color and mono photographs and line drawings.
