interesting sets of US Marines depicted in medevac duties on the battlefield of

Review: Valiant Wings “Building the Heinkel He-219 UHU – A Detailed Guide to building the Zoukei-Mura 1/32nd kit”
Zoukei Mura’s new
kit of the Heinkel He-219 UHU in 1/32
scale has had some great press. We have seen some very talented modellers
end products but not so many build guides to help the regular “modeller on the
street” achieve greatness with theirs. Valiant
Wings now step up to the plate – with the help of their master modeller
Daniel Zamarbide they have brought out a book showing you just how to achieve a
great result like we will show you in our review.
