This new
book from Model Alliance is created by well known profile artist Jon
Freeman.
The book
focuses on giving modellers a large selection of colour profiles and
colour photos to help
expand their reference library. I've scanned a tiny selection of
the colour profiles and photos to give you a small taste to the many colour
profiles presented in this book. In fact there are 104 different
Canbera colour profiles featured in this book with some of these
profiles showing 4 views of that particular aircraft. They cover
Canberras including the B.2, B.6, B.15, B.16, E.15, PR.3,PR.7, T.4,
T.17, T.19 and the TT.18 in RAF and FAA service. The
colour profiles in this book feature a huge variety of paint schemes
including one that appears to be wearing D-Day type stripes that was
used in 1956 is support of "Operation Musketeer" during the
Suez Crisis.

Included with each colour profile
is info on the particular plane as well as information about it's paint
scheme. Above is an example of one of the colour profiles. About 20%
of
the profiles also include a top and bottom view and two side profiles to
give an all around view of certain Canberras included in this book. There
is also 29 colour photos. Below
I've include a tiny selection of some of the pages....out of respect to the
artist's copyright, I am not providing larger scans.

I'm quite impressed
with the quality of this new book. Although the cover is a soft
cover....it is a heavy weight cardboard cover. The pages are heavy weight
paper....this is a reference book sure to last a long long time.
I'm quite impressed with this new book and I look forward to other additions to
this new On Target Profile Series. I recommend this book to anyone
interested in the early Canberras flown by the RAF and the FAA. Later editions in
this profile series will feature part 2 of the Canberra series. Special thanks to Jon Freeman
for the review sample and bringing this book to my attention.
