Don Ross, the author, has been building models since 1942.
His designs have appeared in magazines and his "Fledgling"
classes have added scores of young and "retread" modelers
to the active scene. Don specializes in "synthesizing" difficult
technical information into simple, straightforward "how to"
basics that make experts out of rank beginners.
