This latest slim volume of the MMP Colour and Scale series by artists Dariusz Karnas and Teodor Liviu Morosanu features the French Air Force Potez 63.11 during the 1940 Battle of France. A three-place, twin-engined reconnaissance aircraft derived from the classy Potez 630 fighter, the 63.11 had a distinctive ‘greenhouse’ nose to allow for better ground observation. As a combat aircraft, the 63.11 was pretty useless, but it has featured in several kits over the years, particularly from Heller and Azur in 1/72 and the latter in 1/48.

Within this 16-page card cover book are a set of detailed 1/72 plans and full-colour profiles of 19 aircraft, including one 4-view and one 3-view. Captions are in English with a summary in Polish at the back.

This content has been seen before as part of the long out-of-print MMP Orange Series Potez 63 Family book of 2008, and in the 2023 MMP Single series that also includes photos and profiles from other periods, so this book might not be for you if you have either or both of those. With this proviso, the book can otherwise be recommended; my thanks to Casemate for providing the review sample.
