Airfix is an iconic brand with a long and established history, and their range of models includes civil and military aircraft, ships, cars and dioramas from many historical periods; you can even build Dr Who's Tardis and Lewis Hamilton's McLaren F1 car.

Produced in full collaboration with Airfix and Humbrol, this book explains how to build scale models to suit all levels of modelling skill. With full colour photography throughout, different kits in a range of scales are reviewed and evaluated, along with a comprehensive overview of the paints and accessories that are available.

There are step-by-step guides to construction, painting, decals, super-detailing, modifying standard kits, creating dioramas and more. Common problems and how to solve them are addressed, and the book illustrates the incredible level of detail that can be achieved with examples of models built by experts, alongside their personal tips gained from years of experience.

The Airfix Book of Scale Modelling is the essential guide to making great-looking model kits and getting the most out of this fascinating and rewarding hobby.
