Set in a hypothetical reality where years of diplomacy and posturing has brought two antagonistic worldviews and two different ways of understanding international politics closer to the brink. "Third World War. The World in Crisis" lays out how and where a large-scale confrontation for the control of Asia and the word could take place. New concept in modeling genre: you will find also a historic, political and economic analysis and a narrative story to follow an alternate future reality based upon contemporary tensions. Never seen camouflage schemes and new designs for a story conceived by historians, political analysts, and world class modelers. New and hybrid weapons specifically developed for the conflict. First-hand eye witness accounts of those who sacrificed everything to defend their flags in this fictitious global crisis.

This book offers a new concept in the midst of the various modelling publications: The reader will not only find the usual step-by-step articles on various model building projects, but also historical, political and economic analyses and an alternative, fictional story about a future, world-spanning crisis, the basic elements of which are based on real, current areas of tension in world politics. Never-before-seen camouflage variants for the aircraft of a future conflict are presented, the backgrounds of which have been devised by historians, political analysts and first-class modellers. Also on display are new and hybrid weapon systems that have been specially developed for a future world conflict. Fictional eyewitness accounts of those who sacrificed everything to defend their flags and positions in this fictional global crisis.
