- The first book of its kind to focus exclusively on 1/144 scale First World War aircraft
- The author adapts old techniques and devises new ways to create exquisite miniatures of well-known historic aircraft
- Includes six individual projects crafted entirely by hand, with each step carefully explained and illustrated
- Packed full of tips, advice and outstanding photographs
Featuring beautifully illustrated chapters on specific aircraft such as the Royal Aircraft Factory FE.2b, Airco DH.2 and Pfalz D.III,
First World War Aircraft in Scale takes the reader from the initial inspiration and planning stages of scratchbuilding, all the way to cockpit detailing and the fine-tuning of engines and armaments.
William Adair brings his skills as a jewellery maker and gold and silversmith to the art of scale modelling, presenting easy-to-follow solutions for creating components such as struts, rigging, and assembly jigs, as well as specialised finishing techniques developed for small scales. Further tips are given on painting, weathering, creating custom markings, national insignia, and much more, as well as recommendations on tools, references and materials.
