Today is the first anniversary of the release of Building the Kotare Bf 109K-4 in 1/32 Scale by Gary Boxall, so I’ve taken the opportunity to give it the once-over, tweak a few things, and release a v1.3 update. And for the next few days, it’s on sale for just 15 Australian dollars!

“I’m 3/4 the way through my build and wasn’t sure it was worth it at this stage , but for $20AUD why not. After a quick look I’m amazed of how much information it provides and the many tips I will use to complete my K4. It’s highly recommended and thanks to Gary for producing such a valuable product for what I reckon is a cheap price.”
– Garry Cummings, Australia

I’m pleased to announce that our next title will be No. 7 in our Build Special Series, entitled Building the Zoukei-Mura AD-4 Skyraider in 1/32 Scale by William Hollis.

Additionally, the book will also include various research discussions, assessments of extant Skyraider kits, and some artwork by James Bentley.

Work is about to get under way, and when published, this will be our 50th title! I hope to have this one available by the end of November at the latest. Please stay tuned for more news and updates as development proceeds.

I’m pretty sure that the guy for whom Murphy’s Law was named is in my family tree somewhere (in fact I call him Uncle Murphy). Exhibit A: as soon as I had published the major v2.0 update of A Modeller’s Guide to the Junkers Ju 388 Volume One, a small number of errors were spotted, and have now been corrected. Consequently, we now have a v2.1 update!

“I bought it today. And I must say, holy crap what a work of reference and so cheap considering what you get. I recommend this to everyone with an interest in the Ju 388 or, indeed, any Luftwaffe aircraft, because this is excellent reference material! It is incredible what you have found out there. Well done!”
