　Operated under the harsh environment of an aircraft carrier. A U.S. Navy carrier-based jet aircraft. Iconic aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom II, F-14 Tomcat, and F/A-18 Hornet, which have symbolized each era of the U.S. Navy, are extremely popular with airplane modelers and aircraft enthusiasts. This book, ``MODELLING US NAVY JETS: Painting Techniques for 1/48 U.S. Navy Jets,'' carefully explains such U.S. Navy jets using 1/48 scale plastic models as a canvas, with an emphasis on painting and staining.
　The ``high-visibility'' and ``low-visibility'' paint schemes that represent U.S. Navy aircraft are explained using F-4 Phantom II and F-14 Tomcat (both Tamiya 1/48) respectively. In addition to basic painting techniques, we will also thoroughly introduce weathering techniques that will bring out the charm of your aircraft. In addition, the current mainstay of US Navy aircraft, the F/A-18 Hornet, and the EA-6B Prowler, which was just retired in 2019, are included, making the total number of recorded aircraft a large volume of 5 aircraft. The materials and tools used are all readily available at hobby shops, and this is a must-have for those painting U.S. Navy planes for the first time, beginners in weathering, and even veteran modelers looking to improve their dirt expression skills!
