REVIEWS

I thought I knew a lot about the subject, but was constantly surprised by information provided by the author. It is pretty obvious that a lot of thought and research has gone into this one. A nice surprise for me is that there is a list of kits and decals that have been done up until the print time of the book.

Overall, it is an excellent read and a most welcome addition to any enthusiasts book shelves.
