MILITARY MODELLING by Gerald Scarborough. (8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; 64 pages; 83 photographs; 95 line drawings. Patrick Stephens Ltd - £ 1.20p). After the Editor's introduction this book is grouped under four main sections - 1. Basic tools, materials and techniques; 2. Military transport vehicles; 3. Armoured cars and half-tracks; 4. Tanks and other fullytracked vehicles. Under these headings it provides step-by-step instructions for converting a variety of Airfix plastic kits into numerous trucks, armoured cars, half-tracks and tanks that were used in the Second World War. Each conversion project is accompanied by a full-scale plan, photographs and where appropriate, "exploded" view assembly sketches. It ably describes the logical forward step in model making by transforming the assembly of kits straight from the box into a relative art form. It is a pity that this low-cost Airfix Magazine Guide No. 3 bears exactly the same title as my own book, published in 1970 by Kaye and Ward - an author has a right to expect reputable publishers to avoid such errors.
