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 gallery 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 subject of this volume is the Second World War German Navy?s motor torpedo boats called Schnellboote, known to the Allies as E-Boats. One of the most effective coastal attack craft of the time, the type was built in large numbers and constantly improved as the war progressed, giving many variants to interest modellers. With its unparalleled level of visual information ? paint schemes, models, line drawings and photographs ? it is simply the best reference for any modelmaker setting out to build one of these famous boats. AUTHOR: Steve Wiper is the publisher of Classic Warships, a US specialist press. He has also written widely on naval topics, and has designed and manufactured top-quality ship model kits. ILLUSTRATIONS: 130 colour & b/w line drawings
