A new series aimed specifically at modelers, the Mark I Dozen Set provides
documentation, drawings, photos, and decals for twelve aircraft. The first
book covers the Ilyushin Il-10, which is now available from Special Hobby
in 1/48, and from KP/Kopro in 1/72. The format for this book is simple:
photos and text of an aircraft on one side, and a four-view color illustration
on the other side. The aircraft covered include:

In addition to the individual aircraft photos, there are a handful of
detail photos of a museum example, which will be of great use to those
building a model of one of these planes. My thanks to 4+ for the review
copy.
