title: Building Scale Model Aircraft: A Beginners Guide
author:  Mr Oscar Gagliardi Jr 
description: For me writing this book was an opportunity to share the passion I have for aviation and the hobby of building plastic model airplanes. I wanted to include as many pictures as possible to provide examples and help illustrate this guide designed to serve as a reference to the newcomer to the hobby. In this book I share several techniques, processes and recommendations that will help the modeler achieve great results right from the beginning. My hope is that by the time the reader has finished going through the pages of this book, I was able to inspire the reader and spark his or her interest in this amazing hobby.
