Reviews

"Clearly and copiously illustrated, coverage offers practical, step-by-step advice for modelers of most skill levels. Kit comments and historical remarks season sections. And notes on the Fi 103 trolley -- and Simon Herbert's scratch-built 1:35 V2 Vidalwagen -- should please vehicle and diorama enthusiasts." --David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com "...a fine survey of military aircraft developed by the Luftwaffe and is a strong pick for any military aircraft modeler who wants a blend of history and keys to authentic modeling." --The Midwest Book Review (February 2013)
