You’ll notice that we have reviewed several of the other titles in this series over the years and you may get a sense of deja vu? This is the second publication (updated and expanded) for the Dornier Do 335 and includes builds of the incredible Zoukei-Mura and Hong Kong Models ‘B2’ variant amongst others.

This is an excellent title and the best thing to do is show it to you! Here’s my video review…
