English/Italian text Since we spend much more time building models than painting them, we have less experience in a phase that is often decisive in the model making process. Manual skill is not enough to achieve satisfactory results; a fair degree of mastery of the potential of the materials and tools involved is also necessary. This seventh volume of the Static Model Manual series provides answers to many areas of doubt that beset the modeler when that fateful moment comes to pick up the airbrush. The tables, data charts, suggestions, advice in this manual represent a mother lode of information and a reliable guide to the complex world of painting models.
