Paperback. Condition: New. This book tells the story of the earliest days of plastic scale modelling. It brings to life how the instigators of International Model Aircraft / FROG - Joe Mansour and the brothers Charles and John Wilmot - started the first range of plastic scale model kits in 1936. They were forerunners of what was… to become a global toy and hobby in the 1960s and 70s by well-known manufacturers like Airfix and Revell. Over 10 years in the writing, the book is a labour of love backed by extensive research and detailed knowledge, featuring colour illustrations throughout. Larissa Van Olst (illustrator).
