Rodney and Nelson (ShipCraft Book 23) Kindle Edition
The ShipCraft series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sisterships 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 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.
The two ships covered in this volume were the only capital ships designed and built between the wars—a special concession of the Washington Treaty’s ban on new battleships—and they were unlike anything before them, with the superstructure three-quarters aft and all main armament turrets forward of the bridge. During the war, Nelson survived mine and torpedo damage, while Rodney played a major part in the destruction of the Bismarck, both surviving to be broken up post-war.

これまでと同様 実艦解説+対象キット紹介+各国モデラ―による作例紹介の内容です。
両艦とも写真30枚前後と戦歴などの記述、図面については
ロドネイ線図(1928,1940,1942,1944)、カラー塗装図(1928,1940,1942,1943)
ネルソン線図(1940,1942,1943,1945)、カラー塗装図(1942,1943,1945)
*右左舷、平面図表記は様々で、他の方がご指摘のようにあまり細かい図面はありません。
「艦艇模型スペシャル」、「ネイビーヤード」などの特集ページのような感じで、
特にモデラ―にとっては結構面白い資料になると思います。
