Our thanks to Mushroom Model Publications for supplying the review sample.

This is the latest in MMP’s yellow series and it’s an absolute must-have for fans of the P-39. 

This book  is absolutely packed with just about everything a modeller could think of to put into a book; history, period photographs (both colour and black and white), walkaround photos, scale plans with full rivet detail in 1:32, 1:48 and 1:72, full colour profiles (stunning by the way) etc etc.

Words almost fail me when trying to review this book. It’s the absolute complete package and is hugely inspirational. 

Normally I get a model, then look for a resource to help with that project. Whereas this is the other way round, just flicking through this book  meant potential modelling projects were swimming around in my head and I’ll definitely be building a P-39 soon.

This is exactly what every modelling reference book should be like. I can’t wait to review more in the series. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
