The range of publications by the Spanish Accion Press is impressive, and the modeller can find an almost endless source of references there.
This one is a monograph dedicated to 2 od the planes that were used during the Kursk battle by Germans and Russians: the Ju87 Stuka and the IL-2M Sturmovich.
In the 56 pages, printed on quality paper of A4 size, are illustrated and narrated the 2 builds of these 2 airplanes. for the Ju87 the modeller is Tomas De La Fuente and the kit is the Hasegawa 1/32 scale, while for the IL-2M is Javier Lopez De Anca and the kit is the Eduard (rebox of the Accurate Miniature) in 1/48 scale.
The skill of both the modellers is at the top level, and images illustrating step by step the build are excellent, representing a wonderful guide and reference for anybody wanting to build these planes.
The volume is available and in Spanish and in English version. I ordered the English version; English is not my natural language, but still I felt the translation as poor and inaccurate, as made by something not expert in our hobby, and this was annoying for me. More: the volume is also plagued by typographic mistakes, with full paragraphs that are still in Spanish, with no translation (as you can see in one of the images published here).
But the worst was the experience with the Accion Press customer care: I ordered this volume (together with some others, for a total amount of about 80 euros) before Xmas. After one month, they were not yet delivered, so i wrote an email to them, stating that I was not in the hurry, but informing that my ordered was not yet arrived. No answer.
After 2 months, the volumes were still missing: again I wrote to Accion Press, stating that probably the volumes were missing, and asking for the tracking code of the shipping (in fact, at the moment of the order that wrote me that there was a tracking code, but they never gave it to me). Again no answer at all.
I was lucky, and the volumes arrived the weeks later. I realize that the long time for the delivery is not fault of the published, but the lack of any answer to my emails it is. So, if you are going to buy something there, and you have some troubles, be ready to deal with one of the worst customer care that i ever met.
