Ok, so I am getting smarter, or cheaper.. in my older age.
Instead of just grabbing all the Concord titles or even the ones I have kits for, now I'm just trying to get the REALLY useful ones for kits I plan to put a lot of detail into.
So having said that.. How much use for the detail afflicted (read as 2x Eduard sets, Dreamcatcher tires) is the Concord Scud volume?
Are there eough color pics of the interior and wiring to really make it worthwhile?

I am much the same - the concord books are a excellent source of reference and with an interest in Soviet Armor I bought both the Scud and BMP books.
There is only one interior photo of the drivers position - black and white- but lots of up close detail photos of the exterior. Some great photos of the Scud in launch position and some excellent color profiles.
To be honest the title can be a little deceiving as the book covers a number of Russian Ballistic Missile systems from FROG 1 thru to Topol-M and SSC-3 so if you're after lots of interior details I think you'll be disappointed however as an general reference its great.

Hi,
Any outside reference next to Internet photos on this topic would be, in my opinion, worth it.
Having built the kit already I scoured the net for pics and with the help of some of the guys (and gals) on this site I was able to get tons of exterior shots... unfortunately "tons" was basically the same 20 - 30 shots over and over again.
Cheers!
