  REVI is a well know Aviation magazine from the Czech Republic. Since their humble beginnings they grew and despite many challenges, they recently issued their #80 magazine. In addition to their magazines there are decals and also books in their line of products. Following is one of their latest.  

  The title Messerschmitt Bf 110, Volume 1 - C,D,E variants clearly describes what's inside of this 104 page book, but it deserves more detailed description than that. A small note in the book also indicates that work on following Volume has already begun. 

  This publication is a collective work of Martin Lebl, Petr Tomancak and others.
  The book is a softcover and is printed on high quality gloss paper. The text is in English. 
  The main part of this publication are superb technical drawings by Martin Lebl - there are total of 57 pages of his "work of art". 23 pages are in 1/72 scale and 34 pages in 1/48 scale. As Martin mentions in the book, this was an enourmous project and to make the drawings as accurate as possible, 3D modelling was used. And the results are truly amazing! (BTW: Eduard utilized this 3D model as the base for their 1/48 kit).
  In 1/72 scale you will find in this book following variants of Bf 110: C-1, C-1/B, C-2, C-3, C-2/B, C-4, C-5, C-6, C-7, D-0, D-0/B, D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4, E-1, E-2 and E-3.
  In 1/48 scale: C-1, D-3 and E-2.
  Following 10 pages in section named Structure Details are reprints of original Messerschmitt Manuals. Total of 39 original pages in fairly small size (4 per book page) but in great quality.
  There are 27 b&w photos (several of them were not previously published) and 10 color photos all reprinted in superb quality.
  There are total of 13 outstanding color profiles - again, Martin Lebl's work, printed on 8 pages.

  Next 10 pages are dedicated to The Father fo the Night Fighters: Wolfgang Falck. His life story, many photos and 2 color profiles are also included.

  2 pages of this book are also dedicated to plastic model kits of this popular Luftwaffe Twing Engine Aircraft listing all the models ever available on the market from 1/144 scale to 1/32 scale. It is very interesting that first kit of Bf 110C was issued shortly after the end of WW II - in 1946! 

  I must highly recommend this book to any plastic modeller interested in Luftwaffe Aircraft as well as to any WW II Aircraft Enthusiast! 

  REVI also produces decal sheets Luftwaffe Experten Volume 1 in two popular scales (1/72 & 1/48), where you can find both of the Wolfgang Falck's aircraft (profiles are in this publication). There is a review of these decals in ARC archives.
  To get this book, go to www.modelimex.com or check other retailers.

  Thanks goes to Petr Stachura for supplied sample!

  Just delete any of the boxes below you don't need.....it's not important to include them.....they are there to give you an idea of the finished article.  It is best to limit your article to no more than 60 or so photos, so the finished webpage won't take too long to open.
