BRITISH LIGHT CRUISERS: Leander, Amphion and Arethusa Classes

This ShipCraft book is the first of two volumes covering Royal Navy 6-inch cruisers of the 1930s, including WWII ships such as Ajax, Achilles, Penelope, and the Australian Sydney. Provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject, highlighting differences between ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles and highly detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modeling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the subjects, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. Followed by a gallery 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.
