Building and Detailing Scale Model Cars is available online from
Squadron.com
 This
is another must have book if you want to learn more about making your
car model that little better.
The 128 pages are broken down into 10 chapters, and contains over 300
detailed colour photos.
The chapters go through the basic of model building and tools, through
to paint preparation and painting and to obtain a mirror finish through
the use of sanding kits and polishes.
The author also goes into super detailing your model through wiring and
plumbing, masking, decals and metal foil as well as weathering your
model to give it that old faded, rusty look.
An added bonus is the inclusion of some "unique models" which show what
can be done from some award winning modellers.
Highly Recommended.
