AIRFRAME DETAIL No.4: The Supermarine Swift

Valiant Wings Publishing start 2016 with the fourth title in their expanding Airframe Detail series of books for the avid aviation modeller and enthusiast.

The Supermarine Swift - A Technical Guide by Richard A. Franks will be their first title covering a post-WW2 RAF jet. The fourth title in the "Airframe Detail" series covers a very important, but much neglected post-war RAF type. Whether you are tackling the brand new Airfix kit, or grappling with the old Hawk offering in 1/72nd scale this title will be essential reading for you.

Scale modellers have never had it so good. Right now all manner of historic aircraft types can be built in the popular scales. However for the serious modeller and enthusiast references can be scarce or hard to find for many of these interesting types.

Valiant Wings’ new Airframe Detail is addressing this, providing a one-stop reference guide for anyone wishing to model certain aircraft.

Every Airframe Detail title contains:

  • A wealth of historical photographs
  • Walkaround detail period pictures
  • A mass of period diagrams from original flight manuals
  • Detailed study of structure, equipment and armament
  • Colour profiles and camouflage and marking detail by Richard J. Caruana
  • Lists of all kits, accessories and decals produced in all scales
  • At least 68-84 pages in volume in A4 format
