Overall
Recommended
As I have said, there is so little relevant and useful scale modelling reference in particular for the Hornet and Sea Hornet this book was always going to be a worthwhile addition to the reference library. What I like about the authors is that they often pick on an unusual subject or dimension to the titles published and this new book on the Hornet is just that – unusual and much-needed!
