Airbus A400M Atlas is the latest European military transport aircraft, designed to perform versatile missions on the modern battlefield. Created in response to the needs of NATO countries, it was intended as a replacement for the honored yet aging aircraft: the American C-130 Hercules and the European C-160 Transall. The Airbus A400M is operated by countries such as Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Belgium. Since entering service in 2013 (contemporary times), it has repeatedly participated in logistical, humanitarian, and medical evacuation missions around the world.

The book DH-019 Airbus A400M Atlas offers hundreds of high-quality photographs showcasing structural details of the aircraft—fuselage, wings, stabilizers, landing gear, turboprop engines, and propellers in rarely seen close-ups. A chapter devoted to the cockpit provides insight into the complexity of its avionics and the ergonomic layout of the crew’s cabin, which will be a tremendous aid for both plastic modelers and those building with 3D printing techniques. Unique is the chapter presenting the aircraft’s maintenance and servicing, as well as photographs depicting the plane during dynamic operations.

This product belongs to the modeling publications category and is highly recommended for both novice and advanced modelers creating replicas in 1/72, 1/144, 1/48, or 1/32 scales—a perfect reference source while working on model details. Difficulty of use (regarding interpretation of the material): 1/5.

We recommend HMH Publications DH-019 Airbus A400M Atlas to all aviation modeling enthusiasts and collectors—a publication so detailed and richly illustrated was truly missing from the market!
