Airbrushing Scale Model Aircraft provides guidance on buying airbrushing equipment, setting it up and operating it safely, and offers detailed explanations of how airbrushes and compressors work, alongside their various components. The reader is taken through basic exercises to learn how to control airbrushing equipment before moving on to more advanced paint application techniques. This book also includes guides to preparation, information on the use of primers, and a handy troubleshooting guide to help identify and resolve common faults. Also covered are masking techniques; painting wood effects; bare metal finishes; camouflage patterns; chipping techniques; clear coats, and finally, weathering.

In this coming-of-age adventure, Squawky, a mischievous great-grackle, finds himself in a series of predicaments. His friends, the four Wend sisters (starlings), the Doves, and the inexperienced rock pigeon Pidge, struggle to assist him. Fortunately, Uncle Motley, the wise old cowbird, offers guidance to the group as they navigate the challenges of friendship and growth in their lively world.

Richly illustrated, Multimedia Building Techniques for Scale Model Aircraft uses six model-building examples, from the very basic application of etch to the major conversions.
