From the publisher:The ShipCraft series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warships. Each book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, with color profiles and detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modeling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of kits, lists accessory sets for superdetailing, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. The book concludes with a page of selected references, including books and a list of websites.
This volume (ShipCraft 22) is devoted to the seven German battleships that fought in World War, I as well as their predecessor Blücher and the uncompleted Mackensen and Erzatz York classes.
FSM says: Of particular interest to modelers will be the chapters “Model Products,” including in-box reviews of kits, photo-etch, and accessories, and “Modelmakers Showcase,” with its color photos of completed builds. Chapters on careers and “appearance” (including camouflage) provide valuable visual and chronological mileposts.
