Here’s some information from the publisher

Our fifteenth title in the Airframe Album series is an essential companion for anyone tackling the HK Model (1:32nd), Tamiya, new tool Airfix (1:48th), Dragon, Special Hobby and older kits in 1:72nd scale.

Contents include:

• Period diagrams
• Data from flight manuals and spare parts catalogues
• A wealth of historical photographs and detail images of preserved Meteors
• Period detail images during production and service use
• Fully detailed 3D isometric views of prototype, production and test airframes by Wojciech Sankowski
• Full colour profiles and concise camouflage and marking notes by Richard J. Caruana
• Lists of all Meteor accessories, decals & masks produced in all scales
• Kit builds of the new tool Airfix 1:48th FR Mk 9 by Steve Evans and the Dragon 1:72nd F Mk I by Libor Jekl
• 194 pages plus covers.

This is an excellent title and my only slight reservation is the fact that the HKM 1:32 Gloster Meteor doesn’t feature as a build. A bit of a missed opportunity this and that would have been the icing on the cake.

Having said that… I can strongly recommend this title to you all – it’s a wonderful one-stop-shop reference to the famous Gloster Meteor fighter.
