DESCRIPTION:
More than fifty years of modeling experience is passed on through wise and practical advice and thus each page will be of the utmost value to scratch builders and to any kit builders who may be setting out to construct a model of a WWII warship. Philip Reed, best known for his superb models of ships from the age of sail, here turns his attention to the other highly popular subject for ship modelers - the warships of the Second World War.The book is a step-by-step manual for building a scratch waterline model of the Ca Class destroyer HMS Caesar, the sistership of Cavalier now on display in drydock at Chatham Historical Dockyard.

Waterline Warships: An Illustrated Masterclass The book is excellent, but the title limits the level of interest. While there are some pages dealing with waterlining, it includes much more about ship model building. Excellent book for anyone who is interested in building model ships!. "Another great book by Phillip Reed." according to Larry from Atlanta. I have several books by Phillip Reed, and this one is just as good as the others. Although I am primarily interested in sailing ship models, this particular book on steel waterline ships is a good book to have. I highly recommend it for any ship modeler..
