Captain Scarlet Manual (Haynes Manuals)

50 years later, the background of Spectrum can be revealed! I remember running home after classes in Grade School, to watch this show. Now, Haynes explores the series in details, that I could only dream of. Along with the tech of Spectrum, they also give details, into the Zero -X , which was introduced in Thunderbirds Are Go! I am always impressed in how the Haynes Manuals open up more of the Media Related world, and hope they continue so (I have seen T-Shirts of covers of manuals they should do, like Firefly, Doctor Who, and Space Cruiser Yamato, which I hope they take the hints). This book, as well as the one they did for International Rescue/Thunderbirds, brought back pleasant memories.

The book looks amazing and is a great companion to the Thunderbirds book. Photos seems to be remastered and are very clear considering they are from the 1960's. The cutaway views are superb. The only desapointment is that the book has a soft cover, It would have been perfect if it had an hard cover. (That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5)

Another brilliant Haynes manual for the avid fan of Captain Scarlet. All vehicles are here as well as character breakdowns and also a number of missions are looked at. My only niggle, as with all books of this type is the way that they spread the cutaways over two pages so you cannot see it very well where the pages meet in the middle unless you break the spine open which ruins the book. I would prefer pullouts of the larger vehicles such as Cloud Base so you can really have a good look at the various areas and work gone into the cutaway itself.Still an amazing book and well worth it.

Buyer beware, this is not a Hardback edition as Amazon are still statingHowever, great book and would make a fantastic Christmas present for any Captain Scarlet fan.

Not impressed a paperback not hardback so unlike the other Haynes manuals I have.

So beautifully detailed, I can't even begin! The attention to detail is brilliant. I primarily wanted this for art reference, but it's full of interesting trivia too. If you're a fan of Capt Scarlet it is worth every penny.

A brilliant book well Illustrated and well worth the money would recommend it to anyone connected or who loves all things Gerry Anderson.
