Description

Large format paperback, staple bound in white pictorial covers. 32 pages plus covers. Illustrated with rare black and white photographs; detailed 1:48 and 1:72 scale drawings by C.A. Owers and three color profiles and two camouflage patterns by Ray Rimell on rear cover. “Colours and Markings essay by Ray Rimell and Appendices round out this issue. First edition. “The photo selection in this Datafile documents several individual machines with multiple views from different perspectives. The beaching equipment shown in these photos could provide information for some interesting diorama or displays. The Datafile only contains 50 photographs over 32 pages, making this volume 4 pages shorter than others which have appeared before or since in this series. But the images are clear and, when combined with the excellent plans, provide a useful resource for modeling.” [online review] An excellent resource for the scale-modeler and airplane enthusiast. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked copy with no creases. Very mild toning to extremities is all that is keeping this copy from an as new grading. Near fine.
