AK interactive has initiated a new publication entitled 'Modelling Full Ahead'. Their first volume is on the US Naval aircraft carrier USS Lexington as she was for her final battle in WWII. This issue is by Marun Van Gils.

From AK interactive:
When we decided to launch the Modelling Full Ahead project, we were aware that in an eighty page publication it was possible to condense the information needed to build a specific warship. But as modelling is evolving nowadays with it’s curiosity, techniques, innovation, history, and certainly everything that pushes us to build a scale model, this cannot only be achieved with a monographic series.

Baring this is mind and in response to the multitude of suggestions we received, we offer you a parallel to the monographs series. In this special issue we will deal with difficulties that may occur to you during the building stages, such as working with photo-etch, advanced painting, scratch-building, diorama composition, etc. With this new guide we will not only help you to build your models but also have the possibility to tell its history.

Based on these sample images, this publication looks like a great concept for presenting modeling and history together. This publication is available direct from the AK Interactive webstore for 15,95 € ($17.00 USD) plus shipping.
