By Matt Bittner

Author: Richard A Franks
Publisher: Valiant Wings Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-912932-22-1
Binding: Softcover
Pages: 98

Another re-print from Valiant Wings Publishing, this time taking the page count from 82 to 98. Additions include the 1/32 Hobby Boss build; 1/48 scale plans; etc.

The book is broken up into the following chapters:

  1. Technical Description
  2. Evolution - Prototype, Production and Projected Variants
  3. Camouflage & Markings
  4. Production
  5. Big-Scale Whirlwind

There are also the following Appendices:

  1. Kit List

An excellent book, one a Whirlwind modeler must have.

My thanks to Valiant Wings Publishing for sending this review copy.
