I’m pleased to announce that, as part of our current round of updates to older titles, v1.4 of Building the Zoukei-Mura Ta 152H in 1/32 Scale is now available! While not quite worthy of v2.0 status, this still represents quite a substantial update, with almost every page tweaked in at least a minor way. No new pages or content, however.
In this 167-page eBook, John Kim takes you through the building, painting, and finishing of the terrific 1/32 scale Ta 152H kit from Zoukei-Mura.

I’m pleased to announce that our very first title (released way back in July of 2017), Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale by Eric Galliers, has been given a comprehensive makeover, and bumped up to v2.0! We’ve completely revised the layout on some pages, and tweaked almost all the others, along with some typographical tidy-ups and general spit-and-polish. The price remains at 15 Australian dollars.
Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale
Written by master modeller Eric Galliers, this 123-page digital book shows you how he built his award-winning 1/32 scale model of K.J. “Brick” Bricknell’s CAC Sabre. Using the Italeri 1/32 scale F-86F kit as a basis, Eric modifies it to the Avon-powered configuration employed by CAC-built RAAF Sabres, to produce an exquisite replica of Brick’s Sabre as he flew it in 1963.

This book is one of our oldest, being the second title we published, way back in 2017. We felt it was time to freshen it up a bit. The layout has been fully audited, and many pages have been completely revised to bring them in line with our more recent publications.
And as some of you may be aware, on 26 January this year, Mac was the deserved recipient of an OAM (Medal of the Order of Australia), as part of the Governor General’s Australia Day honours. We’ve included this latest update to Mac’s storied career in the book, including a full transcript of the award text.
Congratulations, Mac!
