NOTES:

Text in Russian; picture captions in English as well.

Published on good quality A 4 paper it has in its 58 pages the following articles. All the photographs are in black and white and are published 2 to a page with a max of four. Price varies from country to country so check with your local supplier.

To pick out several of the above article for further comment, personally I knew very little about the early Russian attempts at helicopters and I am very surprised as to how far and forward thinking they were. There are 7 original engineering drawings and 8 black and white photographs.

The Russian Hetzers this was a surprise as I had only one very poorly written article with scant information on file. Now thanks to this article and plans it will enable the scratch builders to make at least 5 totally new tanks or SPs.

Down side for the Artillery tractor Y-12 is there is only a set of side elevation in 1/35 and not a full set of plans great pity. But it does have a set of original factory drawings, which will help.

In the full analysis the magazine is growing in not only new articles and photographs but in the quality of the plans. I have counted up the photographs new to me and I was very surprised to find a total of 63 out of 74, this you will agree is a staggeringly high amount.

The quality of the photographs is very good and the plans are first rate.

So if any of the above subjects is your fancy go out and buy this magazine you will not be disappointed. Very highly recommended and deserves a place on the reference self.
