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.

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

to K’ Variants, then look no further
than this revised and reprinted book!

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
