Author Biography

Geoff Coughlin has been building scale models for over twenty years. He is known to many in the hobby through articles that regularly appear in popular magazines: these include Tamiya Model Magazine International and Scale Models International. The subjects featured in these journals cover practically every aspect of building scale aircraft models from biplane vac-forms such as the Aeroclub Gloster Gauntlet to the stunning Tamiya F-15E Strike Eagle and Revell / Monogram He 111. He is now in his sixth year as a contributor. Geoff has just finished writing a book about building the new Tamiya Fairey Swordfish aimed specifically at the modeller. This is his first book for Osprey.
