I’m pleased to announce that our latest Build Guide in eBook format, Building the Hasegawa Bf 109K-4 in 1/32 Scale, is now available for immediate purchase and download!

In this 220-page eBook, John Kim guides you through the building and painting process of Hasegawa’s 1/32 Bf 109K-4 kit. John supplements his build with a carefully-curated selection of aftermarket items, showing you how to get the most out of both them and the base kit—including correcting the infamous “square spine” fuselage issue.

He also details his painting and weathering process, along with using paint masks for most of the markings.

We’ve also included 25 pages of photos and discussion of the Bf 109K-4, including genuine wartime artefacts in original colours.

And lastly, we have our usual set of Appendices covering available aftermarket products and reference books.

Note: all our prices are in Australian dollars.
