Kagero
LATE-WAR PANZERS
Fans of Kagero’s publications will want to check out the firm’s new In Combat series, which combines elements of its image-based references with a historical section.
‘ZERO’ FIGHTER REFERENCE
Polish publisher Kagero's first examination of the famous Mitsubishi Zeke fighter is a creditable start.
FRIEDRICH PLANS
Modellers with Messerschmitt Bf 109F kits will appreciate Kagero’s TopDrawings publication, which provides a selection of scale plans, colour profiles and detail diagrams for this sub-type.
SCALE PLANS AND SCHEMES
Reference material can be invaluable for modelling, and these three new Topdrawings books from Kagero will interest aircraft or armour builders… or both if you mix genres.
TANK DRAWINGS
Kagero’s Top Drawings books may have low page counts, but in terms of information density they are arguably one of the most value-for-money products currently available, especially when the separate foldout A3 plans are factored into the equation.
YUGOSLAVIA’S ’109
Although World War Two brought about huge advances in aviation, it also curtailed many promising designs, including the Yugoslavian Rogožarski IK-3, regarded as an equal to the Bf 109E when it entered service in 1940, and the subject of this exhaustive study.
FAR-EASTERN U-BOATS
While the use of submarines during World War Two is typically associated with German forces, the Imperial Japanese Navy also operated this technology, and its Type B1 craft are the subject of this Kagero monograph
HYBRID CARRIER
With the regular renaming of Soviet/Russian ships, it is always worth checking which is which – this TopDrawings volume is dedicated to the Moskva, lead vessel of the Moskva-class helicopter-carrier, and not the later renamed Slava-class cruiser.
TOMCAT TREAT
POLISH PUBLISHER Kagero has launched a new Kit Build series, with the first issue covering Grumman’s mighty F-14 Tomcat.
SECOND-GEN V/STOL
Harrier fans will welcome this lavishly printed monograph on Spanish Navy and US Marine Corps second-generation airframes, as it provides a wealth of data on these types.
