BOOK REVIEW: Afrika Korps Airfix Magazine Guide No.12 Rommel's Afrika Korps was one of the few military formations to become a legend with in its own lifetime, and is an exceptionally popular field of study with military historians, modellers and wargamers. In this new book, Bruce Quarrie not only provides a basic guide to the organisation, weapons, vehicles, uniforms and equipment of the Afrika Korps but also with a little help from Gerald Scarborough and Robert Gibson, includes extensive vehicle and figure modelling information. The book begins with a description of the Afrika Korps' formation and organisation, invaluable to wargamers. This is followed by a short biography of the man whose name will always be associated with it, Erwin Rommel. Succeeding chapters describe the tanks, guns, halftracks and other equipment used by the DAK, together with performance data tables on the most important. Finally there is a chapter on uniforms, beautifully illustrated by well-known military artist Bryan Fosten. Gerald Scarborough then takes over, with a chapter on modelling some of the Afrika Korps vehicles which are unlikely to appear in plastic kit form, such as the Auto-Union Horch, Fia Spa artillery tractor, BN1-5 half track, and a variety of other armoured and 'soft skin' vehicles. The book concludes with a chapter by Robert Gibson on modelling DAK figures in either OO/HO or 54mm scale using Airfix polythene figures. Specification: 64 pages, 81/2" x 51/2", 64 photographs and 56 drawings, case-bound with colour laminated cover.
