    WWII SPECIAL VOL.3

    We’ve reached the 25th book in Mr Black Publications’ Scale Model Handbook series, which is a result of collaboration from some old as well as some new contributors. This is the third book in the series we have entirely dedicated to creations inspired by those events that took place between the years 1939-1945 known to Western histories as “The Second World War”. Even though wartime themes are numerous herein, and feature an extended variety of models, dioramas, vignettes, and figures, especially in 1/35 scale, we’ve managed to present many representative examples catering to the varying interests of our readers.

    We must thank all our contributors for their excellent work and their dedication to achieving this project. In particular, the new contributors Calvin Tan, Michael Lee and David Hernanz Caldevilla, the dynamic Toshihiro Sano who appears in almost all of our latest publications, offer now no less than two articles. Also, our thanks must go to the well known old contributors Christos Katselos, Ernesto Reyes Stalhuth and Stelios Neofytidis.

    As always we must thank our friends, partners and supporters including, Pietro Balloni and Luca Marchetti (Pegaso Models), Darren Parker-Mead (Tommy’s War), Stuart Hale (Stormtrooper Miniatures), Alexander Surzhenko (Masterbox Ltd), Alexey Lukanev (Irbis Miniatures), Man Jin Kim (MJ Miniatures), Young B. Song (Young Miniatures), Taesung Harmms (Alpine Miniatures), Daniel Buchtela (Model Scene), DG Artwork (Dae Hyoung Kim), Alex Vallejo (Vallejo Acrylics), Fernando Vallejo (AK-Interactive), Ben Mirson and Alina Rizhko (both from Miniart Models).

    Last, but not least, we would like to thank Ken Jones for his valuable help in editing those texts translated into English, his advice and for helping us lend a unique final touch to all our publications.

    Hopefully, you’ll enjoy our new book, but above all, keep modelling!

    As always with these volumes, some lovely looking stuff there. My only gripe would be the heavy bias towards German subjects. A tad more variety (S.E. Asia, something naval / air force) would not have gone amiss. And TWO German Feldgendarmerie .... really??!! :confused:

    Re: less WW2 ...I presume guys mean overall as this is a WW2 special ...hopefully we might see a WW1 special or perhaps Victorian ?

    Here’s an idea...a thread of “special issue” topics..ECW, ACW both common but popular, Spanish Civil War ..WWI..or spin it another way...Russian, Eastern European one..based on artists from there..etc
