The Supermarine Spitfire Part 1 (Merlin-powered) Second Edition A Complete Guide to the Famous Fighter;Airframe & Miniature No.12

摘要

Valliant's Airframe and Miniature series of books have become one of the cornerstones of the aircraft modelling world. With this volume they revisit and update the already superb Merlin powered Spitfire tome with information covering aircraft in Foreign Service, on top of the established blend of history, profiles and photographs. Time waits for no man and that is the case for the model industry, with many changes to the line-up of Spitfire kits available since the first edition of this book came onto the market.This updated version covers all of the new kits that have arrived including the recent Eduard Mk I, allowing you to make an informed decision on which kit to buy. This vital information is joined by model builds by Libor Jekl, Steve A. Evans & Dani Zamarbide. Reference is the key to this book, with more than forty pages of technical information coupled with a series of walkaround images making for a ready supply of modelling information. The spitfire in particular has a dazzling array of variants, but the 3D isometric views produced by Wojciech Sankowski help to break down the differences between them, especially when combined with the detailed descriptions. Finally the book is rounded off by a set of 1/48 plans. Needless to say we highly recommend this book to anyone looking to build a Merlin powered Spitfire.
