4.0 out of 5 stars A Good "Vark" Reference for the scale modeler, March 23, 2006

By	IceTea (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This is a 36 page book in the already established Lock On format. It is divided into several main parts: Airframe, Maintenance, Landing Gear, Cockpit (with instrument panel descriptions for F-111E, F-111F) and Kit Reviews. The book has 95 close-up color photos of excellent quality. It is a good reference for the "Vark" scale modeler. Being one of the few still in print, I recommend it.
