A while back I picked up the HT Model Special on Slovak Bf 109G-6s and I was quite impressed. This latest release is even more impressive, if that could be the case. The photos presented here, most never before seen, provide a great view of this little-known part of Bf 109 history. While the text is not in English, the photos and illustrations speak volumes. The color profiles are very well done and do a great job of showing what these unique Bf 109s looked like, with many featuring that interesting spotted cowling. In addition to the period photos and color illustrations, this book features many detail photos of museum Bf 109Fs and 109Gs. Cockpit details, wheel details, and engine details are just some of the areas covered.

If you want to build up a Bf 109 but want to do one that's a bit different than the rest, this is one book that will provide some great material. . Check out their website at https://www.htmodel.sk for more information, including where to pick this title up.
