esarmstrong Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I may get a new copy of this book. I have the old version that is sold out, but this edition will ostensibly have more updated and improved illustrations and drawings. This is no doubt connected directly to the Zoukei Mura release of their 1/32 scale kit. Rick Griewski and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I love that cover shot. I already have a fair mount of info on the Hs 129 (including the original Classic Publications volume), so may or may not grab a copy of this book.

JerseyChris Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Chaps, does anyone know when ZM are releasing the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 looking forward to this book, but... also slightly concerned that the price puts a LOT of pressure on it to be stunning, and still a little dubious about all the pre-war blurb it supposedly contains about the birth of this and that...really not interested, but hey ho there's a lot of mediocrity churned out in the £20 range on so many aircraft now, so at three times the price this better cover all the bases monthebiff, Troy Molitor and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32scalelover Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) I have the original version also. It is 340 pages and the new updated version is 224 pages??? How did they add all this additional info and make the book 120 pages shorter?

32scalelover Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know any more information about these two versions of the same book? It seems weird to me to add additional information to a book and have it end up being less pages than the original. I was considering ordering one for the new ZM kit if it had significantly better information than the original.

monthebiff Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I was quite excited about this book and then I saw the £60 price tag. Dont think so as I can put that to other more important modelling stuff I am looking at. I will be buying the ZM kit but will make do without the book Regards.

richdlc Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi guys thanks for the interest in the book. It's getting rave reviews all round. There seems to be some confusion about the content: More than a few of those advertising the book are using a blurb based on the estimate we used prior to signing the author. Therefore the content is as follows: 296 pages 13 colour profiles by Janusz Swiatlon 415 photos updated drawings by Arthur Bentley Even before I received the book I'd sold 600 copies....so there are now less than 400 left. If you want a copy in time for the release of the ZM kit, then please swing on over to my website: www.chandospublications.co.uk cheers Rich LSP_K2 and Trak-Tor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks Rich To be honest I'm still on the fence; the whole history bit beforehand is just fluff in my view and doesn't belong there. Presumably the book will sell out before anyone actually puts out a *proper* review and accurately summarizes contents and chapters etc... if so my loss but I'll sit and wait I think.

What is your definition of a proper review? I've never seen any hard and fast rules regarding hobby item related reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
