Real World Useful May 11, 2010
Wink Grise (Australia - half Yank)
This book is "real word" right down to the binding: it's a wire spiral, glued to a hardcover (rather well, too), so once you read it, you can take it to your model room/shop as reference and not worry about ruining it. The examples are all real models the author and mates have built. I learned a good overall amount, but a few gems, too.
I carefully read reviews and product info, and chose this over the Finescale Modeler book on airbrushing, which was recently confirmed by a mate as being overall nothing (too little info).
I wouldn't have minded some detailed info on some of the techniques, almost a Dummies version, but I think the real lesson is to build and paint as much as you can to gain experience. AS they say about writing, "Writers write", so I guess airbrushers airbrush!
I certainly found the book useful and recommend it.

Very little useful basic information. This guy is into airplanes. If you're into airplanes too, this is the book for you.

I ordered this book for my boyfriend as a Valentine's gift after he bought himself a model airplane. He loved the book! Said it was full of useful information. He particularly was interested in the info on airbrushing. I loved the quality of the book. It comes in a kind of binder format with thick colorful pages that will definitely withstand much wear. Also their are lots of helpful illustrations. I suggest this book for anyone who is interested in expanding upon their scale model hobby.
From fundamentals to advanced techniques November 14, 2008

Joining others in Osprey's 'Masterclass' series from professional modelers who share their experiences, this survey is perfect for any working with models, and provides a in-depth guide to creating a realistic, solid paint finish for any kind of model from military to civilian crafts. The basics of airbrush use are explored from fundamentals to advanced techniques, freehand, and masking. A lay-flat spiral bound hardcover with spine lettering makes it particularly valuable to practicing home modelers.
