Reviews

"Whether building a model of an ironclad, a gunboat, a cruiser, or a raider, Ships of the Civil War almost certainly contains artwork illustrating the appearance and the color scheme of the ship that interests you...Those seeking a good introduction to the warships of the Civil War or a good pictorial reference of these ships will find Ships of the Civil War 1861-1865 valuable." - Ships-in-Scale Magazine, November/December 2013
