{"product_id":"9781848321274","title":"County Class Cruisers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ‘ShipCraft’ series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modeling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references – books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume covers the British 10,000-ton ‘Treaty Cruisers’, thirteen of which were built to three slightly varying designs between the wars. With three funnels and a high freeboard, they were impressive ships, and all enjoyed very active wartime careers - three were involved in the Bismarck action and another with the sinking of the Scharnhorst.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039314952432,"sku":"9781848321274","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848321274_p0.jpg?v=1763750250","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848321274","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
