This new
book from Model Alliance is created by well known profile artist Jon
Freeman and the text is written by Andy Evans.
The book
focuses giving modellers a large selection of colour profiles and
reference photos of aircraft and noseart from Operation Telic
Contained in this book are colour schemes and markings from British
aircraft involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I've scanned a
tiny selection of
the colour pages to give you a small taste to the many amazing
photos and colour profiles presented in this book. In fact there are
59 different colour profiles featured in this book. They cover
Tornados, Harriers, Jaguar, Canberra and Nimrods.
Included with each colour profile
is info on the particular plane as well as information about it's paint
scheme. Above is an example of one of the colour photographs of noseart. Some of
the profiles also include a top and bottom view and two side profiles to
give an all around view of certain aircraft included in this book. Below
I've include a tiny selection of some of the pages....out of respect to the
artist's copyright, I am not providing larger scans.

I'm quite impressed
with the quality of this new book. Although the cover is a soft
cover....it is a heavy weight cardboard cover. The pages are heavy weight
paper....this is a reference book sure to last a long long time ....printing
quality and picture/artwork quality is clear and first rate.
I'm quite impressed with this new book and I look forward to other additions to
this new On Target Profile Series. I recommend this book to anyone
interested in the British Aircraft involved in Operation Telic. Special thanks to Jon Freeman
for the review sample and bringing this book to my attention.
