I've bought a few RC/model related books recently, these 3 all are hardback & all 192 pages long …
The titles are: - Airfix: Celebrating 50 Years Of The Greatest Plastic Kits In the World (Arthur Ward, 1999) - Classic Kits: Collecting The Greatest Model Kits In the World, From Airfix To Tamiya (Arthur Ward, 2004); and - The Complete Book Of Radio Controlled Models (Chris Ellis, 2000) For used, very good copies I paid 5.49 GBP, 7.49 GBP and 4.99 GBP respectively, all including post. Airfix may have some cachet as a brand, but “greatest”? I’d put a lot of brands before them – Matchbox, Revell, Italeri, Tamiya of course, and probably many others – as I’ve always found the parts a bit insubstantial, fragile & often warped in comparison. Still, I’m looking forward to the subject matter & hopefully a lot of the old box art. I’ve only flicked through the Classic Kits book to find the Tamiya history section, TBH I believe I’ve seen all the pictures before – including the one of Mr Tamiya Snr. The RC Models book looks like it covers a lot of ground so I’m not expecting that much detail – but I do see a lot of Tamiya’s RC range in there Overall, lots of casual reading for the price of a few magazines Attachments:
