F.A.Q. CARS AND MOTORCYCLES: Frequently Asked Questions About Techniques Used for Painting Cars and Motorcycles (Modelling Manuals) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this book to cover many great details about model building race sedans , yet lacking in coverage . All the models and subjects covered are european and asian racing sedans and a couple racing motorcycles.There is no coverage of the very popular american cars and techniques whatsoever.
The book puts alot of coverage into detailing carbon fiber ,exotic racing engines and applying extensive racing decals.
I was hoping for some tips on scratch building, dealing with suspensions and wheelbase mods.There is very little coverage on painting and detailing auto interiors..aside from some racing details.
For what it is.... it's a great book if your only specific modeling category is modern race sedans and motorcycles box stock with a few photo etch and resin parts tossed in.
For the cost.. The book was much too specific to be titled "F.A.Q. cars and motorcycles"To be honest, It answered very few for me.
