The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building
and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly
illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of
the subject class, then moves to an extensive photographic survey of
either a high-quality model or a surviving example of the ship. Hints
on building the model, and on modifying and improving the basic kit,
are followed by a section on paint schemes and camouflage, featuring
numerous colour profiles and highly-detailed line drawings. The
strengths and weaknesses of available kits of the ships are reviewed,
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.
