Queen Elizabeth Class Battleships Kindle Edition

by Les Brown (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 44 ratings
The ShipCraft series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling 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.This volume covers the five ships of the highly successful Queen Elizabeth class, a design of fast battleship that set the benchmark for the last generation of dreadnoughts. Although they fought with distinction in WW1, all were thought valuable enough to be modernised between the wars - indeed, three were massively reconstructed, providing the modelmaker with a challenging variety of possible subjects.

    This book was used but looked brand new. If you are interested in this class of battleship historically or to model this book is for you. Unfortunately it came out before the Academy Warspite.

    4.0 out of 5 stars モデラーにとってあって損はない一冊
    Reviewed in Japan on October 14, 2017

    全64ページ。前段が設計思想と各艦の経歴。中段がキットと作例の紹介。後段が迷彩塗装図と各艦の特徴（改装歴）。巻末は簡単な平面図と側面図になっています。掲載されている画像はネット上でも見られるものがほとんどですがネット画像より解像度が高いです。迷彩塗装図は英国海軍の色番号が示されていて分かりやすいです。平面図と側面図は艦船模型スペシャルに掲載されているものと同程度と考えて差し支えないと思います。キット紹介の情報は古く（トランぺッター、アカデミーは無し）、また作例も参考になるものとは言えず、これらが約3分の1を占めているのがもったいなく感じます。
    この資料に限った事ではないですが、迷彩塗装図、平面図、側面図は実物と見比べると一部に誤りが見られます。文字データは信用できてもイラスト類は鵜呑みにしない方がいいです。
    全体的には持っておいて損はない印象です。

    Just what I need for when I do the 1/350 scale model of the HMS Warspite, great photos and plans of all the ships of the class. A must for fans of the model of these ships

    Another excellent publication giving the basic history and some excellent photos of the five ships involved, but with the Valiant, perhaps, not getting quite the same coverage as the other four photographically. As a modeller I again found this book very useful, but would like to have seen the differences between Queen Elizabeth and Valiant better delineated.
