LED Cordless Folding Lamp

T

here are two versions of

this lamp available, one

which comes with a USB

adaptor plug and one that doesn’t.

My laptop, I use for writing, is

also on my downstairs model

bench so it makes sense for me

to charge the lamp using the USB

socket on my laptop, plus the USB

only version is £10 cheaper! The

choice is yours. Which ever of

the two versions you choose both

offer very good value for money.

The higher of the three colour

temperatures which the lamp has

is 6300 Kelvin, which is equivalent

to daylight. I am sure that I am not

alone in doing my model making in

the evenings under artificial light,

so a daylight bulb is always very

handy! This lamp being cordless

can be placed anywhere on your

bench without cables getting in the

way or using up valuable socket

space! Another advantage to this

lamp is that the LEDs do not give

off any heat, so it is perfect for

working with plastic models.

The area that the light covers is

not huge, but then I actually looked

at the space on my bench that I

actually use for close work and the

lamp more than covers this! So, if

like me you build in the evenings

in a fairly small space this lamp

will be a very worthwhile addition

to your modelling armoury!

My thanks to Shesto for

supplying the review lamp.

from various Bf 109 sub-types reproduced from original

wartime German manuals, and walk arounds of BF

109 variants. Written by lifelong Luftwaffe enthusiast

Lynn Ritger, the Datafile contains copious amounts of

information of the types development, and focuses on

identifying the different characteristics of the variants. The

book then looks at Messerschmitt Bf 109 operations over

various fronts, including the English Channel, the Eastern

Front, the Western Desert, Night Fighting Operations,

Defence of the Reich, Training, and a

description of non-Luftwaffe Bf 109

operators. If you are looking for a

he Messerschmitt BF 109 is one of the

icons of military aviation, and instantly

recognisable as one the Luftwaffe’s most

potent warplanes. Originally published in 2007, the

SAM Publications Messerschmitt BF 109 ‘F to K’

variants Datafile remains one of the most important

and informative books on the subject, and has

been a goldmine of information to both enthusiasts

and modellers alike. The Bf 109 also continues to

be a very popular subject amongst modellers and

model manufacturers, and over the fourteen years

since its first publication, new kits, accessories and

decals have, and continue to be produced, and with

this in mind, SAM Publications are reprinting this

valuable resource, with all new kit builds, featuring

some of the latest models available and an updated

Kitography. The book comprises of 224 pages a

double A3 fold out scale plans, colour side profiles,

detail drawings and photographs of components
