The latest release from Mushroom Model Publications covers the neat Italian WW2 fighter, Macchi C.205 Veltro. Przemysław Skulski prepared yet another useful source of information for both the modeller and aircraft afficionado, filled with mostly sharp and crips period photos (inc. a few in colour), a set of scale drawings in 1/48 and 1/72 scale (featuring the rivet detail), and a great section devoted to the museum exhibits, which features numerous walkaround-type pictures supplemented with drawings taken from the aircraft manuals. The main text discusses the development of Veltro and its service with various domestic and foreign users, including a description of camouflage and markings applied to their machines. The latter is supplemented with no less than 18 pages of colour profiles showing the variery of liveries carried by the C.205. All this makes this book a handy reference on this somehow forgotten aircraft, especially recommended for the scale modellers.
