Reference books for building the Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriers.
USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72 (ref no: 1045)
Author: Barry D. Smith.
This book is published by Concord Publications in Hong Kong,
This book will be invaluable to you if you are building the 1:350 scale model USS Nimitz CVN 68 made by Trumpeter.
The book is full of colour, black and white images and lots of close up images of different parts and areas of the ship and the airwing.
I have looked on the publishers web site, but can’t find any reference to the book (it could be out of print) but it is seriously worth trying to get hold of.
I got a copy of the book from a hobby store in Hamburg, Germany about four years ago by pure chance.
Concord publications print a whole range of books on military vehicles and figures.
