About this book
Here Mat Irvine shares his wealth of knowledge of techniques for building plastic model cars that produce a degree of realism unachievable ‘straight from the box’. All types of automobile are covered: vintage and veteran, classic sports cars, single-seat racers, American cars from the fifties and sixties, pickups, vans, dragsters, hot rods, customs, four-whell-drives, and the most modern cars. Illustrated with over 240 colour photographs, this book not only provides a treasure trove of useful techniques and tips, but also offers a fascinating insight into the hobby, its past and future.
