Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Modelling the Harrier I and II!" By Glen Ashley, and a Robert Oehler. In over 30 years of service, the Harrier has seen significant combat action for the British Royal Navy and the USMC: from the Falklands to Bosnia and Kosovo, from the First Gulf War to Afghanistan, the Harrier has played a key role. It has also seen service for Italy, Spain, and India. Distinctive and widely recognised, the Harrier was the world's first VSTOL aircraft and its appeal for the modeller is clear. This title covers modelling the Harrier across a variety of scales, from the early version P.1127 through to later models. Advice on weathering, superdetailing, conversions and display bases combines with a wealth of recommended reference sources to create this packed and informative guide to modelling the Harrier. Softcover, 7-in. x 10-in., 80 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Modelling the Messerschmitt Bf 110!" By Brett Green, and Robert Oehler. The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was undoubtedly one of the most significant aircraft of World War II. Despite suffering setbacks in the summer of 1940 at the hands of the RAF, it continued to be used effectively in other theatres and roles until the last days of the war, particularly as a night fighter against RAF Bomber Command's strategic bombing campaign over the Reich. This title shows you how to correct and convert basic 1/48-scale kits of the Bf 110 into many different variants, using a wide selection of aftermarket detail sets, conversions, accessories and decals for both day and night fighter schemes. Softcover, 7-in. x 10-in., 64 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Modelling the F-4 Phantom II!" By Geoff Coughlin, Neil Ashby, and Robert Oehler. The 'Phabulous' Phantom first took to the air on 27 May 1958 and has been in service around the world for many decades. The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Iran, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Spain and Turkey have all operated this powerful aircraft. The Phantom starred in both the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm, and in its service career has flown every traditional military mission. With many F-4 variants in service (from FG.1s to 'Wild Weasels'), and some 25 scale model kits currently available, the possibilities for modelling this subject are endless. There are few guides currently available to the F-4 modeller: this book seeks to redress the imbalance, providing an in-depth and step-by-step approach to modelling this plane across a variety of scales, types, and national schemes. Softcover, 7-in. x 10-in., 80 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

Volume 4 - 1st printing. "Modelling the M3/M5 Stuart Light Tank!" By Steven J. Zaloga and Robert Oehler. The M3 and M5 Stuart were the most significant light tanks of the US Army, as well as many other allied armies, during World War II. They have proved to be popular modelling subjects ever since, largely due to the large number of kits available in many different scales covering a broad selection of the different variants used. The Stuarts were also painted in a wide range of colourful camouflage schemes, reflecting their widespread service, and this adds to their appeal. This title shows a number of different ways to model this popular tank in 1/35 scale, covering construction, painting and weathering the vehicle. Softcover, 7-in. x 10-in., 80 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.
