Every time I turned the page, I thought that I was turning 2 pages due to the thickness of the individual pages. Book ThemeThe title of the book is “US MULTI-ROLE FIGHTER JETS” and prior to reading this book I only had a vague idea… more |

Model Art Plamo Manual, #6, How to Build Jet-FighterPublished: August 17, 2021 DescriptionI have reviewed a couple of ModelArt magazines with their impressive variety of subjects and techniques in each issue.

Sci-Fi & Fantasy Modeller, Volume 18Published: October 11, 2010 DescriptionThis is my second review of Sci-fi & fantasy modeller and I am a bit disappointed.
