Modeling WWII in the Pacific

From the first months of the war in the Pacific until today, this region has provided countless subjects for modeling. The expert contributors from FineScale Modeler, led by senior editor Aaron Skinner, show you how to build award-winning models and accurate dioramas. You'll learn how to depict the righting of the USS Oklahoma, capsized on Dec. 7, 1941, and how to model a Douglas TBD-1 Devastator found next to the sunken USS Lexington in 2018. Besides diorama techniques, our experts will show you how to get believable finishes to depict the effects of the harsh climate of the Pacific campaigns, how to bend photo-etched metal to your will, and how to deploy resin upgrades to enhance your models.
