This valuable new addition to the highly successful 'Aspects of Modelling' series will give modellers of all abilities the necessary skills to perfect the most important aspect of their railway scenes; the track layout. Beginning with a detailed examination of a number of simple layouts, this informative guide then shows readers how more complex plans can be developed. It explores the compromises that have to be made when creating a layout in limited space, and shows prospective modellers how to avoid creating track plans that would not be correct in prototype terms. Beautifully illustrated throughout with vivid, detailed pictures which are ideal for reference, this practical guide will help modellers of all abilities to enhance their recreated railway scenes and to achieve the very highest level of accuracy in their layouts.

The Osprey Combat Aircraft series comprised a number of monographs on modern US and Soviet military aircraft and helicopters. The text presented a concise development and service history of the aircraft, but the main attraction of each title was the illustrations. Each title featured more than 30 b+w photos and 8 pages of colour photographs and colour artwork. Some line drawings and/or cutaway drawings were also featured in most titles. Comprehensive data tables appeared at the end of each book.

Robert A. Forczyk provides a riveting and intense description of the design and development of these two deadly opponents, the Panther and the T-34, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses and describing their tactics, weaponry and training. Moreover he gives an insight into the lives of the tank crews themselves, who were caught up in the largest land conflict of World War II, in some of the most important engagements in the history of warfare. Innovative digital artwork and first-person perspectives place the reader in the midst of a duel between the titans of the Soviet and German armed forces in a ruthless and relentless death match that would determine the war on the Eastern Front and, indeed, the fate of Nazi Germany.

There is no pretending that this book is an historical study of Skyraiders, Skyhawks, and Skywarriors - or, as they were affectionately known, Spads, Scooters, and Whales - in US naval service, or that it is exhaustive in its presentation of their camouflage and markings. II is simply intended to record some of these camouflage schemes and markings, mostly from happier days (from the photographer's point of view, not that of the pilot having to dodge missiles and avoid being seen by his adversaries!) when bright splashes of colour had not yet been displaced by effective, but oh so dull, Tactical Paint Schemes, and to provide a colourful look at three of the greatest aircraft designed by the one man who has often been called Mr Naval Aviation, Edward H. Heinemann.

Building on the popularity of the Aspects of Modelling series designed primarily for railway modellers, Ian Allan Publishing is extending the coverage of the series to encompass other hobby modelling areas. The first of these titles looks in detail at an area of increasing popularlty worldwide, that of slot car racing, which is practiced both at an organized club level, but also at home using Scalextric and other similar manufacturers' products. Most of those pursuing the hobby quickly move on from just racing cars to want to learn how to improve the performance of their cars, control systems (including computer applications), track layouts, power supplies, driving skills etc. There is a wealth of advice in the community on these subjects, but this book brings together all this disparate knowledge into one practical 'how to' volume. In the style of the series the practical text is supplemented by clear photographs and diagrams to guide the reader.
