Kagero Publishing continue to release many interesting books in their highly successful and popular “TopDrawings” series. These books provide scale drawings, as well as large colour plates/profiles, and are great looking reference books for modelers at an affordable price.

Number 46 in this series is about the famous american battleship USS Massachusetts of WW2. This 32 page, A4 size, soft cover book provides pages of excellent 1/200 & 1/400 scale plans, plus many details of the ship not to scale, by Witold Koszela. An introductory text gives us a basic background to the ship, and this is presented in both English and Polish.

As well as the selection of scale plans, the back cover present two big realistic colour profiles (side view and top view of the ship), with excellent artwork.

Scale plans include main superstructure details from 1944 to 1946, at various levels, navigation bridge, upper deck, funnel, artillery/batteries director, turrets, masts, radar antennas, cutaways, etc. Two pages with 3 view plans are devoted to the Vought OS2U Kingfisher & Curtiss SC1 Seahwak deck floatplanes, both in 1/72 scale.

As a bonus there two separate double A3 (4 x A4) size sheet with top & side views of the battleship and her details. All drawings are first class and you can use them to add much more detail to your scale kit using plasticard or other materials.

All in all a highly recommended book, which will help you a lot when building/superdetailing a scale model of the ship (like the Trumpeter 1/350 scale kit) or simply wish to study all the differences of the various details, without much text but with clear, accurate, all-time classic drawings and profiles. You can even check the accuracy (or inaccuracies!) of your kit against these superb scale drawings.
