The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building and
modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each
book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class,
highlighting differences between sisterships and changes in their
appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and
camouflage, featuring color profiles and highly-detailed line drawings
and scale plans. The modeling section 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 high-quality models in a variety of scales, 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.
