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 sister-ships 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
gallery 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 is the first volume in the series not devoted to a naval vessel,
but the most famous liner of all time is a suitable subject as one of
the most popular of all ship modeling subjects. Apart from Titanic
herself, this volume also covers her sister ships Olympic and Britannic
which enjoyed longer and more varied careers, including wartime service
as troopship and hospital ship.
