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: Scratchbuilding in 1/144 Scale takes the reader from the initial inspiration and planning stages, 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 at the extreme scale of 1/144, 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.
