    Volume 17 - 1st printing. "Messerschmitt Bf 109!" By Rodrigo Hernandez Cabos and Geoff Coughlin. With number 17 the Osprey Modelling Manuals start a regular subseries on modelling specific aircraft types.

With detailed step-by-step model photography, specially commissioned walkround photography, scale drawings and wartime shots, these books will provide all the details needed to model the main Bf109 version — the 109E ‘Emil' — and other variants, particularly the ‘Gustav', the most numerous of all Bf 109 types, and the strange double-deck Mistel. Softcover, 7-in. x 10-in., 64 pages, full color. Cover price $17.95.

Includes a full roundup of the models available on the market, details of where you can see the real thing, a select bibliography, and survey of websites of interest.

This classic fighter would go on to have a significant postwar history too. With detailed step-by-step model photography, specially commissioned walkround photography, scale drawings and wartime shots, these books will provide all the details needed to model the main P-51 version, the P-51D (nearly 8,000, over half the total number of P-51s, built) and its variants.
