"Uncovering The F/A-18 A/B/C/D Hornet"

Review by Emad F.Tabsh
--------------------

This is DACO Publication "Uncovering The F/A-18 A/B/C/D Hornet" new book.
By Danny Coremans and Nico Deboeck.
Suggested retail price: 34.75 Euro
The book comes in 240mm by 210mm format.
160 pages of COLOR,that is from cover to cover.
Also included are scale drawings in 1/72nd. and 1/48th. scale.
The book is full of rich photos that you'll find very informative.
It simply goes into every area that a modeler might think of.
For the first time, you'll see detailed photos of the refueling probe, avionics bays, cockpits of each variant, even some shots of the internal construction of the fuselage with the engines removed, landing gears stowed in its bays, radar, engines....etc.
The last photos concentrate on the various weapons and pods carried by the Hornet.
This single book on the F/A-18 is a must for every Hornet fan.
You will not believe the amount of detail of the real thing that's being really "uncovered".
A highly recommended book that every modeler's library should have.
Happy modeling!

PS: Below is an e mail from my friend Mr.Danny Coremans about ordering the book directly from Belgium,for those interested:
 

 

Hello

As you probably already know, DACO Products has recently published a book about the F/A-18 Hornet, which is now already seen as the bible of this aircraft, and it's even going to be 'Book of The Month' in Junes edition of Scale Aviation Modeller International magazine...

Of course you can wait until all reviews will show up in the various magazines, but as the Belgian Post has just announced a serious increase in the postage costs, so I would like to let everyone who are still pending about ordering this book, know that from this Saturday on the shipping price for this book within Europe will increase with 2.00 euro to 7.00 euro (Standard Air Mail) and for the rest of the world it will increase with 4.00 euro to 10.00 euro (Standard Air Mail). Priority Air Mails will become 9.50 and 14.50 euro... So something to consider, no?!!!!

You can always have a quick view to the comments already given by the people on my website http://ultra.glo.be/daco --> F/A-18 book --> comments

But as this is a general message to everyone who ever ordered from me, it's possible you're already one of the lucky who have a copy of this book on their desk. So you have no need for the info above. On the other side, I'm always interested in more comments for my website... :-) And I'm also interested in knowing how long it finally took for the Post to deliver, to see if it corresponds with the timeframe they say they do...

If you've ordered this book already, and you haven't received it yet, please try to get a delivery date confirmation of the postman aside the original postmark when it arrives, especially if it took a lot longer than it should be...

Best Regards

Danny Coremans
