Announcing “Scratchbuilding the Hawker Fury in 1/18 Scale”!

I’m pleased to announce that our next title will be Scratchbuilding the Hawker Fury in 1/18 Scale, by the fabulously talented Peter Castle, of airscale fame.

Those of you who have seen Peter’s previous title, Building Race #80 Spitfire Mk XIVe in 1/18 Scale, will have an inkling of what to expect. This time, however, Peter is tackling a biplane, and building it entirely from scratch in his preferred 1/18 scale. The result, to no one’s surprise, is spectacular.

Work has begun, but it’s too early to give any indication of when it will be available—though the target is September. Stay tuned for updates as they come to hand!

And while you’re waiting, if you haven’t already, check out Peter’s previous title for KLP Publishing:

v1.1 of “Building the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.IIIa” Now Available!

Phew, that was quick! Thanks to eagle-eyed customer Ferran Borrell for noticing that we’d misspelled the name of the pilot for Build 1, which occurs in the book no less than 213 times! Such are the advantages of digital publishing, however, that this rather egregious error was quick and easy to fix—and thus we now have v1.1 of Building the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.IIIa in 1/32 Scale.

This update is free for all existing purchasers, so if you’ve already bought and downloaded the book, we strongly encourage you to grab it again by simply re-downloading it—either from your account if you have one, or by using the original download link in your order confirmation email.

To be sure you have the latest version, you can check the version number located at the bottom of the Copyright page (iii):

Sample Copyright page taken from Building the Hasegawa Fw 190D-9 in 1/32 Scale

New purchasers will automatically receive the corrected version, so there’s nothing to worry about there.

Our sincere apologies for this rather perplexing oversight!
