Hi my friend.
On a first pass, I couldn't make head nor tail of the thing, but as the years go by, and I go back time and again with more knowledge I discover what Norbert means.
There's a need for a total upgrade of the book now, it's become very dated in parts, though the basics and science are still very much the same. There's a need for a step by step primer to help total newbies (the web is probably where most learn), referencing new kit manufacturers, new equipment, new opportunities for kit bashing, and how it's not as daunting as it used to be to make a half decent model sub. The best model books I've used (railways, helis, tanks), explain the science and techniques, then take the reader through a build up of a model or two to show how it's done.
