Model Graphix Mook - MODELLING U.S. NAVY JETS (1/48アメリカ海軍 ジェット機の塗装テクニック)
●This book provides a thorough explanation of high-visibility and low-visibility painting and weathering techniques!
●The US Navy's carrier-based jets are operated in the harsh environment of aircraft carriers.
●Iconic aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom II, F-14 Tomcat, and F/A-18 Hornet, which have symbolized each era of the US Navy, are popular among aircraft modelers and aircraft enthusiasts.
●This book, "MODELLING U.S. NAVY JETS: 1/48 Painting Techniques for US Navy Jets," carefully explains these US Navy jets, focusing on painting and soiling, using 1/48 scale plastic models as a canvas.
●The "high-visibility" and "low-visibility" painting techniques that represent the US Navy's aircraft are explained using the F-4 Phantom II and F-14 Tomcat (both Tamiya 1/48), respectively.
●Not only basic painting techniques, but also weathering techniques that bring out the appeal of the aircraft are thoroughly introduced.
●In addition to the F/A-18 Hornet, the current mainstay of the US Navy, and the EA-6B Prowler, which was recently retired in 2019, the book includes a total of five aircraft, making it a large volume.
●The materials and tools used are all easily available at hobby shops, making this a must-have for those painting US Navy aircraft for the first time, those new to weathering, and veteran modelers looking to improve their weathering skills!
