- A thorough explanation of high and low visibility painting and weathering techniques in this one book!

- A US Navy carrier-based jet aircraft operated in the harsh environment of an aircraft carrier.
- Iconic aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom II, F-14 Tomcat, and F/A-18 Hornet have symbolized various eras of the U.S. Navy and are enduringly popular among aircraft modelers and aviation enthusiasts.
- This book, "MODELLING US NAVY JETS: 1/48 US Navy Jet Painting Techniques," uses 1/48 scale plastic models of US Navy jets as a canvas and carefully explains how to paint and soil them.

- The 'high visibility' and 'low visibility' paint schemes representing the US Navy aircraft are explained using the 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 the aircraft.
- In addition, the book includes a total of five aircraft, including the F/A-18 Hornet, the current mainstay of the US Navy, and the EA-6B Prowler, which was recently retired in 2019.
- The materials and tools used are all readily available at any hobby shop, making this a must-have for those painting a U.S. Navy aircraft for the first time, those new to weathering, and even veteran modelers looking to improve their weathering skills!
