This is a very comprehensive book if you build any of the older Airfix 1/76 scale armor kits. I would even go so far as to say it is a 'must-have' as there are very few modern references for these old kits. While the style of each build is not a 'start-to-finish' linear presentation the work done is invaluable to updating these kits and making them a bit of an easier build (in the case of the tricker kits). The verbiage gets a bit stilted at times but that's more due to the subject matter than anything else. Highly recommended! Features kits are:
