Painting in model making (PoD)

Radio-controlled model aircraft made of a material that does not break? - Yes, there is!

From the contents:

Dealing with paints and varnishes causes discomfort for quite a few model builders. It is easy to ruin a component or even an entire model with the wrong paint job. On the other hand, it is the correct coloring that gives the finished model its "shine. The two authors of this book, Andrea and Jürgen Kalvari, know the problems of surface finishing from their professional work as well as from their long practice in model building. Thus, they acquaint the reader with artificial and natural dyes, with solvents, stains, waxes and pastes, as well as with the most important tools used in painting and varnishing. In their book, they cover all the steps involved in pretreating the material - whether wood, plastic or metal - and show how paint can be applied to the model safely and with lasting effect, and also how it can be protected. Traditional brush painting plays just as important a role as the modern airbrush technique. And anyone who wants to anodize or gold-plate parts of their model will also find important tips. Over fifty photographs, some of them in color, supplement the practical instructions. This book is an excursion into the colorful world of model making and at the same time an indispensable aid for painting and varnishing floor-standing and functional models.
