The first book in a new series from Valiant Wings Publishing is on the Blohm & Voss Bv 141. The series it titled "Airframe Detail" and it goes into as much detail as possible on a lesser-produced type. There were twenty built and the book tries to go into all twenty as much as possible.
The book is divided into the following sections:
- Technical Description
- Camouflage & Markings
- Building a Bv 141
This last section has a modeler - Steve A. Evans - building the Hobby Boss 1/48 Bv 141B and doing a very nice job of it. Finally, the last section of the book has two Appendices: 1) Bv 141 Kits, Accessories and Decals, and 2) Bibliography.
If you have any interest in the Blohm & Voss Bv 141 from either a historical or modeling perspective, this book, I feel, is a must.
I definitely thank Valiant Wings Publishing for sending this book to review.
