Mark Peacock has sent us word of Valiant Wings' 50th book and, fittingly, it will continue their coverage of arguably the most iconic British fighter ever - the Spitfire. Airframe & Miniature No. 13 will focus on the Griffon-engined marks of Spitfire and Seafire, and also feature the Spiteful and Seafang.
2019 is a year of milestones for Valiant Wings Publishing. It is our tenth year in business and we are now about to publish our fiftieth book title.

Valiant Wings Publishing is pleased to announce that our thirteenth book in the well-established Airframe & Miniature series will be The Supermarine Spitfire Part 2 (Griffon-powered) including the Seafire, Spiteful & Seafang - A Complete Guide To The Famous Fighter by Richard A. Franks.

The Spitfire is probably the most popular aircraft modelling subjects around. Our latest book will go some way towards unpicking the bewildering choices of variants and schemes that apply to the Griffon-powered versions.

This thirteenth book in our much-acclaimed series is our biggest ever and will contain a colossal 272 pages packed with vital information that no active modeller and Spitfire enthusiast should be without.

It will contain:
40+ pages of technical information
20+ pages of walk-around images and technical diagrams
5+ pages of camouflage and markings
25+ pages of model builds and modelling information
200+ photographs including wartime images
Colour side views and four-views by Richard J. Caruana
3D isometric views of all variants by Juraj Jankovic
Specially commissioned extensive full kit builds by Libor Jekl & Steve A. Evans
Specially commissioned front cover artwork by Jerry Boucher
