Gerhard O. W. Fischer will show you how to get to your desired model of your choice. On the basis of modular models, he teaches you working methods which are always repeated for other models. In this way, what you have learned can also be transferred to other models. The author has selected 18 kit models, which have been in the program of the modeling companies for a long time and will continue to be available. will continue to be available. The selection of ship types is broad. Besides an old harbor tug and a modern sea tug, there are also working ships, a cruise ship, small and large motor yachts, high-speed speed racing boats with jet propulsion, and a submarine. From the content: General building instructions, starting with the boat stand to the hull and the RC system Construction kit models: Harbour tug Kalle - Tug Torben - Harbour master boat Kormoran Racing catamaran Powerkat - Sea Jet Evolution Motor yacht Lisa M. - Motor yacht Najade Racing boat Miami - Jet racing boat Seewind - Fishery protection boat Seefalke Nearly finished models: River patrol boat Buzzard - Sport boat Lugano racing boat Wave Explorer - motor yacht San Diego ... as well as some other bigger models for inspiration

The author Gerhard O. W. Fischer shows you not only, how to build tank models from construction kits, but also, how to convert tank models to a completely different type of tank, because there is no construction kit of the desired tank type. Furthermore, it presents some large models and very special tank models, all built by experts in this field of model building. The reader will find many suggestions and hints for building your own model and a lot of information about the large on the large originals. This book is ideally suited as a beginner into a new league of tank modeling. From the content: • The role models of our RC models • RC-tank-finished models of the company robbe: Leopard 2A6, Tiger and T 72 • RC tank ready-made models of the company Revell: Leopard 2A5 and M1A1 • RC kit models: M 26 Pershing and T34-85 • Bundeswehr truck with four-wheel drive • Tracked vehicle according to own design • Kit model conversions: Pionierpanzer 3 Kodiak, • Tank fast bridge 2, Flakpanzer Gepard, Bergepanzer 3 Büffel, Leopard 1A2 main battle tank and a recovery tank • From kit model to large-scale model: Leopard 1A4 and King Tiger • The special model: tank fast bridge PSB 2, transport tank BV 206, amphibious 6-wheel tank AMX 10 and transport tank Fuchs • Figures of tank crews • Manufacturer's notes and list of sources

The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich houses the largest collection of scale ship models in the world. Many of the models are official, contemporary artifacts made by the craftsmen of the Royal Navy or the shipbuilders themselves, ranging from the mid-seventeenth century to the present day. As such they represent a three-dimensional archive of unique importance and authority. Treated as historical evidence, they offer more detail than even the best plans, and demonstrate exactly what the ships looked like in a way that even the finest marine painter could not achieve. Now available in paperback, this book tells the story of the evolution of the cruising ship under sail. It includes a large number of model photos all in full-color as well as close-up and detail views. These are captioned in depth, but many are also annotated to focus attention on interesting or unusual features. Although pictorial in emphasis, The Sailing Frigate weaves the pictures into an authoritative text, producing an unusual and attractive form of technical history. While the series will be of particular interest to ship modelers, all those with an interest in ship design and development will be attracted to the in-depth analysis of these beautifully presented books.

It is often annoying that every kit model built from the same kit of the same company is like one egg from the other. This is what creative ship modelling aims to change! Using prefabricated hulls, it is mainly a matter ofthe superstructure, which must be redesigned, sawn out and further processed and further processed, without the need for a construction template. The conversion of kit models shows how to convert ready-built models to a completely new model by converting them to jet propulsion. Finally, the author presents four examples how larger display models can be converted into real driving models to properly running RC ship models by installing a remote-control system. From the content: • Construction of models according to own designs • Building description of two creative models • Building a police boat according to own ideas • Two creative construction models - The MULTIBOAT • A speedboat and a mega luxury yacht • Conversion of kit models - The FLORIDA as a jet model • The RAPIDO 600 as a jet model • A customs cruiser and a fishery protection boat • Conversion of display models to RC models • Cruise ship QUEEN MARY 2 • Sea rescue cruiser HERMANN MARWEDE • German submarine class VII C • American submarine GATO class • REVELL RC ship model already at the end of the 50s
