Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions scalemodelpodcast@gmail.com (mailto:scalemodelpodcast@gmail.com).Hi Guys,Listening to Episode 153, I want to commend for your Literature reading, the novels by Philip Kerr. He wrote a series of 13 books in which the protagonist is a German policeman: they begin during the Weimar Republic years, span the Nazi period, and continue into the post-WW II era. The writing style leans heavily towards Raymond Chandler. They are NOT for the squeamish, however, as the historical accuracy is pretty spot-on. I recommend starting with Kerr's final volume, "Metropolis", which is set historically before the rest of the books in the series. As a testament to how much I like these books, I've read the entire series TWICE!Lastly, Stuart commented, in regard to a new Eduard Bf-109 E kit, that Adolf Galland had the most aerial victories in WW II. Actually, that should have been Erich Hartmann, a German fighter pilot who served mostly, I believe, on the Russian front.Love your podcast,Dave Kensy Martin Hulst reached out from Holland! Hoi, Martin!***************************************LATEST HOBBY ANNOUNCEMENTSKotare's Hurricane Mk.I (Early)- New tool in 1/32nd scale (https://www.themodellingnews.com/2025/03/preview-kotares-hurricane-mki-early-new.html)Six releases from Italeri in March.
