Summary: Only for utter, absolute beginners!
Comment: This book is perfect as a gift for kids who wish to start out in a/c modelling. It covers the absolute basics, and should get them up and running in no time.
However, the a/c covered in the book are of ancient kits, most of them from the 60's-70's. Technology and standards have improved by loads since then. How one is expected to procure them now is anybody's guess. If the author had taken up some of the recent kits, and showed his stuff, it would have been more useful.
Also, most of the techniques covered in the book are more than available in any of the good modelling sites on the Net now. So I don't see any reason why an intermediate modeler should put his money in this book. Ashey's two books cover most of this stuff and more, and are definitely my rerefences of choice, than this one.

Summary: Good, but very basic...
Comment: This is a good book but it is very basic. It tries to use specific models building projects to show techniques. I like the way it starts with a basic snap-together F-117 and goes up to major modification of an existing kit. Unfortunately it doesn't go deep enough into each kit to really show the techniques. On the plus side, the photography is great and mostly in color. I would recommend this if you are just getting started but I think anything beyond that would be disappointed.

Summary: Good Book, especially for new modelers
Comment: This book has several projects. Each one increases in difficulty. If you'r new to this hobby, this is a great book. You learn what tools and techniques are needed to produce good-looking models. An experienced modeler probably knows alot of the info in this books already. Only one, small chapter is dedicated to display so don't expect anything stellar in that area. All in all an interesting book on everyones favorite hobby.
