Good reference book
A good reference book to have if one builds scale models of WWII battleships. The line drawings are crisply printed, adequate in detail, and present several periods in the ship’s service career. The 1:450 colored plan and profile drawing provides good detail of the ship’s surface features. The 1:350 line drawings provide plan and profile views of the ship as commissioned in 1940, including cut-away drawings of the interior compartments on the flip-side of the sheet. The book also contains detailed line drawings of key sub-components of the ship, such as the hangar, superstructure, funnel stack, guns and many more. I consider this to be a worthwhile addition to my shipbuilder’s reference library.

Solid reference.
Awesome reference. Diagrams are clear and perfect for the 1/350 scale model, especially the hand rails.

Very Good reference for building Tamiya 1/350 scale HMS King George
I bought a modeling guide on King George V battleships, which was useful, but did not show me the upper decks detail like this book does. In the book, they are detailed drawings of the deck and conning tower that I used to add more detail to my model than could be achieved by using Gold Medal Models photo etch. For the price, this reference cannot be beat for advanced modelers like myself. If you are looking for pages of material to read, this is not the guide for you as historical information and technical data are limited.

But I like reading up on history and design of WWII battleships ...
I may have misunderstood what I was buying but the whole book is drawings and details no background info . If I was a modeller I would probably give it 4 or 5 stars as it comes with a couple sets of removable scale drawings . But I like reading up on history and design of WWII battleships and this sure as he'll ain't the book for that .

This is a nice book, good drawing, but they left the scale out of most of the drawings.
This seems to be mostly for people assembling a kit type model and not for the scratch builder.With a little more effort in dimension I'd have given it 4 or 5 stars.Not up to the standards of Kagero's other 3D series of books.
