Duncan Howarth has been modeling military vehicles for years. But he started to find the range of models offered by the kit manufacturers restricting - there were so many unusual and interesting prototypes that he wanted to model, but couldn't. So he began to use ordinary kits as the bases of increasingly adventurous conversions. With the help of drawings and photographs, parts are made to create new variants of existing models and, sometimes, almost completely new models, using just a few components from a donor kit. This book guides the reader through a series of increasingly complex conversions based on readily available kits of World War Two types, and culminates in a magnificent model of the Vomag self-propelled gun built entirely from scratch. Each build is accompanied by drawings, prototype photographs and photocopyable templates which will allow you to build the conversion yourself. The book also gives you the know-how to undertake new and different conversions of your own.

This first volume, of a three-volume set, covers the history, development and production history of the Tiger tank variants from the ideas conception to the end of Tiger I production. This includes details on the development series known as the D.W., VK 30.01(H), VK 30.01(P), VK 36.01(H), VK 45.01(P) as well as the Tiger I. All of this illustrated with scale drawings by Hilary L. Doyle, combined with drawings, sketches, and photographs depicting external modifications as well as internal views. Over thirty years of intensive research went into finding the original documents needed to create this history of the development, characteristics, and tactical capabilities of the Tiger. An exhaustive search was made for surviving records of the design/assembly firms (including Krupp, Henschel, Porsche, and Wegmann), the Heereswaffenamt, the Generalinspekteur der Panzertruppen, the D656 series of manuals on the Tiger, and the war diaries with their supporting reports from German army units. This is supplemented by the authors collecting hundreds of photos and climbing over, under, around, and through nearly every surviving Tiger I.

From the first day of hostilities in September 1939 until final victory, the Sunderland flying boat guarded merchant shipping lifelines to the UK, sought out and destroyed U-boats, acted as mercy transport, supply and communications craft, and evacuated sorely-pressed troops from near-impossible situations. This profusely illustrated book gives a vivid record in words and pictures of the achievements of a unique team of aircraft and men.

World War. Known by the Allies as E-Boats (Enemy Boats) the S Boote played havoc on Allied naval operations in the English channel and elsewhere. Many of their captains were amongst the most decorated of any branch of the Kriegs-marine.
Jean-Philippe Dallies-Labourdette is a noted expert on the Kriegs-marine in World War Two and was the author of the best selling (and now sadly out of print) U-Boote, published in 1996 by Histoire & Collections.
This highly detailed book examines all aspects of the S-Boote, from design to deployment and notes all the major engagements for which they are famous. As with all Histoire & Collections books, you are guaranteed a visual feast of excellent descriptive graphics and previously unseen photographs.

Geoffrey Pentland’s RAAF Camouflage & Markings series attempts to explain the different markings found on aircraft of the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War.
When Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, Australia also followed suit. Many airmen to fly in Europe were initially trained in Australia - this is the focus of the first part of Volume 1. Avro Ansons, Hawker Demons, Commonwealth Wacketts and Tiger Moths (among many others) were all used to train Australian airmen, and each unit featured their own colorings and markings.
Volume 1 then goes on to explain the different camouflage techniques used in the early stages of the Pacific war - Malaya, Darwin, Moresby, Milne Bay - this includes aircraft such as the Commonwealth Wirraway, Lockheed Hudson and Curtiss Kittyhawk. As this edition was published over twenty years ago, some of the information may now be outdataed - for example, it is now believed that the ‘U’ on Dick Creswell’s P-40E A29-113 was actually blue rather than red. But this is an excellent resource none-the-less.
This book includes many black and white photos, a handful of rare colour photos and a large number of colour profiles and would make an excellent addition to the collection of any RAAF enthusiast and especially the model builder.
The book is missing color plate pages 33-34.
