MODELLING REFERENCE BOOKS
Squadron Signal Publications is one of the best known and
most extensive ranges of modelling reference books ever
published, featuring high quality photographs of aircraft,
tanks, ships and more in action, as well as an ever-expanding
range of ‘walk-around’ volumes which show the subject
inside and out in crystal-clear photographs - perfect for
superdetailing projects.
The books have been helping modellers to add essential
details, find markings and apply paint schemes to aircraft,
armour and ship models for many years, and the great news
is that Squadron Signal books are now easier to find than ever
before, because ADH Publishing, the company that brings you
this magazine each month, is importing them from the USA.
You can find Squadron Signal at good model and book shops,
and you can also check www.adhbooks.com to see what we
have on offer!

The Heinkel 111 saw service on all
Germany’s military fronts in the European
Theater of World War II. The He 111
entered the war as a medium bomber,
supporting Wehrmacht ground campaigns.
After the tide in the conflict had turned
against the Reich, and air superiority had
been achieved by the Soviet Union and
the Western Allies, the Heinkel 111 was
largely relegated to transport functions.
This iconic warplane had its origins as
a cutting-edge civil airliner in the mid-1930s. But war was looming and before
long it was adapted for use as a bomber. The first mass-produced versions,
the He 111-E and He 111-F, served in the Condor Legion with Francisco Franco’s
Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War, paving the way to further military
engagement once World War II broke out. Although produced in large numbers
and exported to many countries before and during the war, few examples of the
He 111 survive today. This walk around features detailed photographic images of
the He 111-P1 restored and preserved in Norway, and the He 111-H20 on display
in the RAF museum in Britain.
Illustrated with 228 photographs, detailed line drawings, and color profiles.
88 pages.
SS25041 - A-4 SKYHAWK WALK AROUND (Soft Cover)
SS65041 - A-4 SKYHAWK WALK AROUND (HardCover)
The carrier-capable Douglas A-4
Skyhawk is one of the most successful
modern combat aircraft. During the
25 years in which the A-4 was on
the production line, 2,960 Skyhawks
were built. A relatively light aircraft,
with a maximum takeoff weight of
24,500 pounds and with a top speed
exceeding 600 mph, the Skyhawk
was operated not only by the US
Navy and Marines but also by the
air forces of Australia, New Zealand,
Israel, Malaysia, Argentina, Singapore, Brazil, Indonesia, and Kuwait.
Introduced in 1956, Skyhawks played major roles in the Vietnam War, the
1973 Arab-Israeli October War, and the Falklands/Malvinas Conflict in 1982.
With a reputation for toughness and agility, Skyhawks remained a part of
the American arsenal for nearly half a century - the U.S. Navy retired the
A-4 as recently as 2003. Meanwhile, the battle-tested warrior continues
to serve today other militaries around the world. Illustrated with 205
photographs, color profiles, and detailed line drawings; 80 pages.
SS25066 - KC-135 STRATOTANKER Walk Around (Soft cover)
SS65066 - KC-135 STRATOTANKER Walk Around (Hard cover)
Many air forces can conduct missions such
as air superiority and ground attack, but only
the US Air Force has truly global reach. For
more than five decades, the essential enabler
of this global reach has been the KC-135
Stratotanker. Unarmed and unglamorous, the
KC-135 has been one of the most successful
and enduring aircraft in US Air Force history.
Primarily based on the author’s extensive
access to operational KC-135 aircraft on
the ground and in flight, this book contains
the most detailed photographic documentation of the KC-135 inside and out that
has ever been published, as well as color profiles of the KC-135R in the markings of
every major USAF command that has operated that variant. Illustrated with 240
photographs, detailed line drawings and color profiles; 88 pages.
SS10230 - S-3 VIKING IN ACTION (Soft Cover)
SS50230 - S-3 VIKING IN ACTION (Hard Cover)
The Lockheed S-3 Viking was developed in the
late 1960s to serve as a dedicated carrier-based
anti-submarine aircraft. Over the years, it evolved
into an outstanding surveillance and anti-surface
platform, effective not only against submarines but
also large and small surface ships. The Viking and
its main variant, the highly-classified ES-3A Shadow
electronic surveillance aircraft, played a key role in
the Cold War and in the conflicts of the 1990s. The
book is one of the few publications to tell the Viking story and is packed with photos
and detailed line drawings, all depicting the aircraft’s weapons, paint schemes, sensors
and interior. It also provides an overview of some of the more significant variants that
were studied, but never fully pursued, such as the Carrier On-Board Delivery (COD)
and dedicated (KS) refueling variants. It also discusses the aircraft’s role in Operation
Desert Storm and how the lessons learned from that conflict impacted the Vikings’
mission during the latter part of the 1990s and early 2000s. Illustrated with 186
photographs, line drawings, and numerous color profiles; 80 pages.
