English/Italian text The art of model building is a particular blend of tools and accessories, knowledge, tricks, and techniques gathered from many different sources. It is a world this manual helps to explore in depth. In this volume you will not find any completed models. The content is focused on techniques rather than spectacular looking results. The backbone of this manual consists of the photographs, which will enable you to understand exactly what is being discussed and will allow you to apply the techniques as the occasion warrants.
