You're about to take a complete course in building model airplanes from an expert. Get ready to start building your skills from the ground up. Whether you're an eager beginner building your first model, an intermediate looking for the challenge of vacuum-formed or resin models, or an expert searching for new conversion or creative display ideas, this is the place to start.

Every chapter includes information you can take to the workbench today, taught in step-by-step projects. You'll be amazed by how easy it is to improve the look of your models, no matter what scale of era interests you, and no matter whether you're using resin or simply building out of the box.
