I’m pleased to report that the title that launched KLP Publishing, Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale by Eric Galliers, has just been updated to v3.0, with 16 new pages of photos and historical data by Mark Proulx.

“This is a book written by modeller for modeller and it shows. The text is clear and concise and the pictures crisp. The additional history and words from the pilot really do add to the story of the aircraft. Highly recommended.”
– Julien Dixon, Britmodeller review

Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale

Written by master modeller Eric Galliers, this 139-page digital book shows you how he built his award-winning 1/32 scale model of K.J. “Brick” Bricknell’s CAC Sabre.

Hot on the heels of the v1.5 update from a couple of days ago, we now have the v2.0 update of A Modeller’s Guide to the Ju 88 G-6 Night Fighter! This was partly due to spotting an error in one of the photo captions, which has been corrected now, and also because John wanted to include 2 new photos in the Engines chapter. As a result, an extra page has been added to the book, and the version incremented to 2.0. We’ve also extended the sale until the end of this week, which means you can get this 4-part, 1200-page eBook set for just 30 Australian dollars!
