The DH-022 publication focuses on the C-160 Transall aircraft, which was created as a result of German-French cooperation in the 1960s. This aircraft was actively used by the Luftwaffe (Germany), Armée de l’Air (France), and Türk Hava Kuvvetleri (Turkey), and was also often deployed in UN missions or humanitarian operations. The C-160 Transall played a key role in transporting supplies, soldiers, military equipment, and evacuating the wounded during armed conflicts and military operations in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Its period of service spans from the Cold War era of the 1960s up to modern times, making the Transall one of the longest-serving transport aircraft in Europe.

Inside the book, you will find hundreds of unique, high-quality photos, both from the outside and inside of the aircraft, with close-ups of details such as the pilot's cockpit, avionics equipment, landing gear components, and cargo compartments. The photographs and captions serve as an invaluable reference for scale modelers, especially when building models in popular scales such as 1/72 or 1/48.

We recommend this product to experienced modelers, historians, and military aviation enthusiasts looking for detailed visual and technical documentation. It is an excellent aid in creating realistic dioramas, as well as in designing conversions, paint schemes, and markings. The difficulty level for using the materials in your own projects is rated 1 (easy) – the publication is clear and intuitive.
