The German Aircraft Carrier Graf Zeppelin (Super Drawings in 3D)

Opera molto importante per avere chiarimenti necessari alla costruzione del modellino

Here you have another typically fine entry from this Polish-produced series featuring a plethora of computer-generated drawings (text and captions entirely in English). Nearly, but never finally, completed, Nazi Germany's only aircraft carrier ended its days post-war as a Soviet target ship in the Baltic. Its sunken remains were only located in 2006, a fact noted here in the brief text which accompanies the many renderings. This book is all about the illustrations (there are no actual photographs) which range from wide overviews from numerous angles, to tight close-ups of specific fittings. If you are trying to imagine what this looks like, think of clear and highly detailed "artist's conception" paintings; these are not blueprint type diagrams. All illustrations are of the exterior; there is no attempt to depict interior spaces, companionways, etc. The objective of the book is to give the reader a general (brief) overview of the conception and history of the ship and a detailed look at how it appeared and was fitted out; at this, the volume succeeds perfectly. Includes a separate plans sheet (of the ship, ship's boats, armament, etc.) as a bonus. Highly recommended for modelers and students of the WWII Kriegsmarine.

La única pega es que está en Inglés sin traducir, pero, eso si es fabuloso el fascículo a nivel de detalle de la maqueta del barco que representa y da que pensar como los alemanes pudieron ser tan obtusos lo mismo que los rusos después al desechar un tipo de barco que en poco tiempo se convertiría en el rey de los mares ( de hecho los rusos si, hicieron cantidad de submarinos pero en portaaviones eran unos lerdos)

Wie fast nicht anders zu erwarten, ist auch dieses Heft wieder eine Fundgrube für den Modellbauer oder den Freund der grauen Schiffe. Der gezeigte Zustand ist der zur geplanten Fertigstellung. Alle Details werde genau wiedergegeben und sind in Punkto Darstellung und Detailliertheit sehr gut wiedergegeben.Auch wenn von der ZEPPELIN nur Bilder des Bauzustandesvorhanden sind, ist es dem Verlag gelungen fast keine Fragen offen zu lassen.

Wo bekommt man detailierte Info ? Hier!Das Buch ist mit, für Modellbauer sehr wichtigen Risszeichnungen ausgestattet.Meine Meinung: Absolut Top!!
