         Back on book review and back to one of the most profilic publisher of modelling book.

         Canfora book mean quality paper and very high quality modelling pages.

  

        Today, I have had the pleasure to read the “On the Deck – Naval Aviation on Scale”.

        This book is a soft cover one, A4 size, with 80 pages of aircraft modelling heaven. The inside paper is satin finish with high quality definition, giving a killer quality overlook to the book.

 

         This book is a pure modelling book with several construction with finish models and several wip pictures. The articles show, between text and pictures what the author did to achieved that result.

         It`s also no a truly FAQ/Step-by-step modelling book

 

 

So on the book, all dedicated to naval aviation, you get full articles of several planes, almost all in 1:48 (two in 1:72)  and all with tons of aftermarkets on.

         In total, you get 7 full build articles and one in the gallery.

CONCLUSION

It’s a very interesting aircraft modelling book, a must have to all Naval aviation modeller.

All the builds are stunning (made by expert modeller), with detail to maximum, using in most of case, all aftermarket that exist for.

There are very several good tip to use in thse build that can be used in all other aircraft builds.

The content of this book is a quite inspiration (I just regret to sold my Grand Phoenix FireFly) and a very good consulting guide for any kind of aircraft build.

Highly Recommend
