These emergency built ships were launched between 1943 and 1945 and Caesar herself was to see action in 1944 on the Russian convoys and then in defence of the Western Approaches. The model presented in the book is built to the scale of 16ft to the inch and is designed to be displayed as a waterline model in a diorama.

Ship s plans and a picture gallery at the end of the book devoted to a whole array of the author s WWII model warships complete the book. More than fifty years modelling experience is passed on through wise and practical advice and this each page will be of the utmost value to scratch builders and to any kit builders who may be setting out to build a model of a WWII warship.
