✦ Synopsis

Historic Ship Models ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ, ХОББИ и РЕМЕСЛА Historic Ship Models ByWolfram Zu MondfeltPublisher: Sterling Publishing 1985352 PagesISBN: 0806957328PDF81 MBThe book is really well laid-out; generally, 2 facing pages make a section, with text on the left and finely detailed drawings on the right, more detailed secions (like armament) cover several pages, but still retain the overall look. The sections cover every conceivable aspect of the ship, and most periods, with an concise description of each item and the differences over the years and between the countries. The sections on yards and sails are very good, and the standing rigging is exceptionally well described.My only quibble is lack of colour in the flag & sail sections - it would improve some of the others as well.BitroadDepositfiles 0
