Following on from his Shipcraft 27, Sloops and Frigates, Les Brown has taken on another wide ranging set of ships, the Hunts, Towns, V&Ws and a number of the smaller group of old destroyers that were adapted for escort work. In just 18 pages he has managed to give a good overview of the design and construction of the ships. Later in the book he covers the subsequent modifications. The text is backed up by excellent and carefully selected photographs. The range of models and accessories available covers the old out of product ion versions, along with modern 21st century models kits, including 3D printed and card formats. As usual the real inspiration lies in the wonderful gallery of built models in various scales, the detailed line drawings, colour schemes and superb photographs. Many of the photographs have not been published before and they have been carefully chosen to illustrate the text. This is another terrific, inexpensive and handy book for anybody wishing to build models of these.. Read more
