Airframe Extra No 2: The Korean War - The First Jet versus Jet Air Battles
Information supplied by Mark Peacock
Valiant Wings Publishing continue to add more value for the avid aviation enthusiast and scale modeller with the next title in the Airframe Extra series, The Korean War-The First Jet versus Jet Air Battles.
Many active scale modellers like to build subjects based on a theme or historical event. This brand new series looks at specific areas and events in the history of aerial warfare. Each title covers the history and timelines, detail of the protagonists, period photographs and superb colour artwork from Richard J Caruana. Specific kit builds in all three major scales (1/72nd, 1/48th and 1/32nd) from Dani Zamarbide, Steve A. Evans and Libor Jekl commemorate each event that that we cover.
Each title is A4 in size, a minimum of 84 pages with gloss laminated covers and retails at £7.95 per copy. Available direct from Valiant Wings Publishing or from all good specialist bookshops.
