New books by HMH Publications: Harrier II & MiG-31 Foxhound

The first two books for 2020 in the Duke Hawkins series will be released in a few weeks and if it is okay, I'd like to post a few images of these here.

 

The first is ref DH-011 and is a 140 page book on the Harrier II. It will show both the RAF/RN version - GR.7 and GR.9 and T.12 - and the American versions - Night Attack and radar-equipped Harrier II Plus - in use with the USMC and the Spanish and Italian Navy.  

 

Here's the cover:

It includes every detail of the aircraft, as well as a lot of action. We actually went to the Spanish Aircraft Carrier Juan Carlos I for 4 days and got loads of action and detail there. 

 

Here's a view of two pages on the cockpit of the backseat of a T.12:

The second new book (DH-012) is something really special: a 108 page book on the MiG-31 Foxhound. Earlier, the book on the MiG-29 proved to be very popular, so we tried to get more Russian built jets. The MiG-31 is a huge aircraft and we were very lucky to get this close to the jet. This is the cover:

Fuselage, wings, landing gear, landing gear bay, engines, different types of cockpit, weapons, maintenance and a lot of great action, including some great air-to-air photographs! Here are a few samples:

I hope it's okay to post this here. Thanks for watching!

Quick update on the upcoming MiG-31 book. Good news: because we have so much interesting material on the jet, we decided to add 8 more pages to this book. And even better news: it doesn't change the price: it remains 22 euro. For those interested, we've got a few other Russian jets in preparation!

And they arrived today!! Took longer than expected to get them, but the printers work with only 25% of the usual crew.

It's always cool to have the books delivered and start building a model of these jets! Such a shame there's isn't a MiG-31 in 1/32. Could be such an awesome kit! I've been thinking about scratching a MiG-31, but at over 70 cm long in 1/32, it's probably too big of a challenge for me. 

 

And we've already busy on the next few books! Something more triangular...

The books are going out right now! Should be a couple of days before they arrive at the shops, but they're here! 

 

The next books aren't on the F-117 or the Draken, but those are great ideas, Kagemusha. I'd love to do one on the F-117, but not sure how to get get to photos of that one, especially for the cockpit and maintenance chapters. The next 3 books in this series all have 1/32 scale kits, so that's something!
