Windsock Datafile #55 This was originally published in 1996 and is updated in 2009 and 2010, so there is extra information in the appendix. There's more explanation about that later. For any modeler or just an aficionado of the aircraft, this book, although apparently thin, will provide an amazing amount of information. The 1/48 drawings show development illustrations, multi-view, exploded view all the necessary visual information that you – as the modeler – could really ask for. If you're a 1/72 modeler (which I tend to be) it's a snap to simple scale them down or if you're a 1/32 modeler (shudder) it's not that hard to scale them up. Before you get to the drawings, the text is clearly written, and explains something of the development and history of the aircraft. It doesn't get heavily into it there, but that's not what Datafiles are about; it's about data so don't expect a lot of anecdotal information here. In the appendices, there's a bounty of information about the numbers of airframes that were produced and their disposition, specifications, things like that. Also, there are updates tables that list the kits that have been produced of the W.29 from 1980- to 2010 and that's changed significantly since this was originally published. If you plan on building a W.29 any time, I wouldn't hesitate to get this on your shelf. My thanks to Albatros Publications for the review copy. |
