..are fold-out plans a "bonus" ? ..most modern kits out on the market nowadays hardly need to be held up to plans. I'd suggest some high quality decals would be more of a "bonus"..

Hi again Mark Peacock has sent us a teaser shot of one of the modelling projects featured in the book which is on course for publication early next month - a superb Bf 109D built by Steve Evans from the Eduard 1/32 scale E-1 kit using the AlleyCat conversion set: All the best Rowan

This is something what I'll be definitely looking for as I seriously miss a good reference for the early 109's.

I bought the book and although I´m not read the whole thing I´m looking for the 1/72 kits info about bf 109 T and ICM bf 109 E-4 nightfihgter. Well there is only one T model 1/72 kit reviewed, the MPM, and are ommited many others like Amodel, Aeroplast and MN. In about the reviewed kit of ICM aforementioned, although the review it´s ok, ommited to mention that the Peil Gerät IV is missing in the kit, a real important thing I guess. It would be nice if the plans would included in 1/72. Beyond that a very useful book to modellers.
