From the Publisher
Classic Kits treats you to an international tour of model–kit history, taking in all the favorites—Airfix, Monogram, Mattel, Frog, Matchbox, Bandai, Merit Aurora, Esci, Heller, Tamiya, Fujimi, Eaglewall, Italeri, and more. Not only does this nostalgic guide allow you to compare and contrast the different models and their historical development (and, in some cases, demise), it also notes the rare and the valuable, so you can re–evaluate those pieces you have stored in your attic. Packed with color photos and valuable information for collectors, hobbyists, and enthusiasts, Classic Kits is a one–of–a–kind history of the giants of miniature modeling. Arthur Ward, the leading expert on the history of model kits, is the author of The Model World of Airfix and Airfix: Celebrating Fifty Years of the Greatest Modeling Kits in the World.
