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, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in
their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and
camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly detailed line
drawings and scale plans. The modelling 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 volume covers
the five ships of the highly successful Queen Elizabeth class, a
design of fast battleship that set the benchmark for the last
generation of dreadnoughts. Although they fought with distinction in
WW1, all were thought valuable enough to be modernised between the
wars - indeed, three were massively reconstructed, providing the
modelmaker with a challenging variety of possible subjects.
