I’m pleased to report that our next title, Building the Airfix Spitfire IXc in 1/24 Scale by Chuck Sawyer, has just reached the first draft stage. While this makes it sound like some kind of notional halfway point, in fact it now enters a relatively brief period of proofing and editing before final release. This should be no more than a week or so.

Today marks the 9th anniversary of the official launch of KLP Publishing, back on 31 March 2017. I normally run a birthday sale to celebrate, but had one only 2 weeks ago, and I’ve been too busy to come up with other ways to mark the occasion. Still, it’s an important milestone for both myself and the business, and I wouldn’t have made it this far without your collective support. So happy anniversary to me, and a hearty bout of gratitude to all of you! And even without a sale, our eBooks are still bargains…

In other news, I’ve just completed a minor update to the Purchasing & Downloading Our Books article on the website, with added clarifications about the available options for both tasks. Hopefully this helps make the process clearer, but if there’s anything about either the article or the process that you find to be unclear, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to make them better.

Work on the new Airfix Spitfire book is very slow right now, due to a number of family commitments limiting my available time. However, I anticipate being able to complete the draft in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned for more news and information as it comes to hand!

I’m pleased to report that Building the Special Hobby Tempest Mk V in 1/32 Scale by Chuck Sawyer has just been updated to v1.8, and for the next few days, is available for just 12 Australian dollars!

“It is really excellent as expected and makes me dream of one for the Revell Me-262. One thing that I really appreciated are the little points about a tank that won’t be seen in the cockpit or the join IRL of the cowling to the fuselage. It really feels like a guide and mentoring on building the kit versus a simple play by play of the build experience that one often gets on these types of guides/articles.”

Due to an export error that I failed to notice, v1.4 of Building Large Scale Sci-Fi & Fantasy Models was published with some incorrect images in the final chapter. This has been fixed now, and I’ve incremented the version number to 1.5 to distinguish them. Since v1.4 contains significant errors, this is considered a vital upgrade, and all customers with v1.4 are urged to replace it with v1.5 at their earliest convenience.
