Mark Peacock has sent us details of what promises to be a sure-fire hit to get the 2020s underway at Valiant Wings - a detailed study of the Horten brothers' Gotha Ga 229 flying wing.

Airframe Detail No 8 is coming

I am delighted to announce the next title in the Airframe Detail series from Valiant Wings Publishing. This series of books offers everything that modern modellers want when they are tackling a specific subject and includes period diagrams and full colour profiles and concise camouflage and marking notes.

Airframe Detail No 8 - The Gotha Go 229 - A Technical Guide by Richard A. Franks

Late war Luftwaffe subjects are extremely popular and with the kit choices now available in most scales it seems right to produce a title on this particular type.

Our eighth title in the Airframe Detail series will be an essential companion for anyone tackling the Zoukei`-Mura 1/144th, 1/72nd, 1/48th or 1/32nd scale kits, the older Dragon 1/48th example or even the venerable PM 1/72nd scale version.

Contents will include all the elements listed plus:

Period detail images during production and testing
A wealth of historical technical photographs and diagrams
Detailed walkaround images of the world's only surviving example
Imaginative colour profiles by Richard J. Caruana
At least 64 pages in total
Lists of all Go 229 kit and accessories produced in all scales
Kit build of the 1/144th & 1/72nd Go 229s from Zoukei-Mura by Libor Jekl

Airframe Detail No 8 - The Gotha Go 229 - A Technical Guide by Richard A. Franks will retail at only £13.95 per copy + postage and packing.

The book will also be available from all good hobby stores and specialist bookshops. Publication is scheduled for late February. ISBN is 978-1-912932-10-8
