Fazit:

Dieses Buch zeigt hervorragenden RC-Modellbau mit wirklich guten Bildern und Zeichnungen. Der Bildteil zeigt von Originalfotos über Modelle bis hin zu den Detailfotos wirklich einmalige Bilder. Die Baustufenfotos werden immer im vergleich mit dem Originalfotos gezeigt und es sind auch gute Tips zu finden wie man diese Perfektion erreicht. Einzigster nachteil wenn man es so nennen mag ist die Englische Sprache.........
Daher das Urteil:
Empfehlenswert
