About the PROFILE Edition


In my Profile edition I will try to resume all available photographs and information about aircrafts fighting in WW2, which are often interpreted with several mistakes or inaccuracies. I am an aircraft modeller and I have built (or I am going to build) aircrafts described in my profiles. Therefore all mentioned information is very helpful for other modellers. Photographs published in each issue confirm all information. A Modeller’s section reviewing the decals in available scales is often a part of the profile. Some of the profiles may also include a model kits review.

The profiles may differ each other in the depth of the research according to the inaccuracies or mistakes in interpretation and the number of available information and photographs as well. All profiles are in English and in PDF format. These issues are free of charge!!! I am not a trader, just a modeller who shares his issues with the other modellers.
