Osprey Modelling Masterclass : World War II Luftwaffe Fighter Modelling

An all-colour, step-by-step guide covers the fighters that were operated by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. Geoff Coughlin sets out to explain how to incorporate resin and etched brass super-detail sets available from the aftermarket manufacturers as well as making the most from the kit parts offered in the box. Luftwaffe aircraft of this period were particularly noted for their colourful paint schemes, this book features a wealth of instructions for a wide range of techniques and products used to depict and how to apply these complicated finishes. A wide range of techniques are explained including dry-brushing, use of washes, weathering, types of paints used, and the tools of the trade. To sum up it provides a key practical reference for the modeller and complements the vast array of historical reference material that already exists for this period. An excellent resource for the beginning or intermediate modeller.
