Shipcraft 11 - British Destroyers A-1 and Tribal Classes

Shipcraft 11 - British Destroyers A-1 and Tribal Classes

The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sisterships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modeling 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 survey 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.

This new volume deals with the classes which represent the whole inter-war development of British destroyers, from the prototypes Amazon and Ambuscade of 1926 â€“ the first new post World War I design â€“ to the powerful and radically different â€˜Tribalâ€™ class a decade later. These ships formed the backbone of Royal Navy destroyer flotillas in the Second World War.
