I’m pleased to report that our next title, Building the Tamiya F-35B in 1/48 Scale by Gary Boxall, has reached the first draft stage, and now enters the editing and revision phase. This doesn’t take very long, so look out for a formal launch soon!
Thanks to a couple of errors I introduced during the editing process for v2.0, v2.1 is now available!
D’oh!
In this 182-page eBook, John Kim takes you through the building, painting, and finishing of the terrific 1/32 scale Ta 152H kit from Zoukei-Mura.
Zoukei-Mura released two variants of the kit: an initial Ta 152H-1 kit, and a follow-up Ta 152H-0 release with refined tooling. Wanting to build a Ta 152H-0, but not being able to find the correct kit, John decided to take the earlier Ta 152H-1 release and backdate it to H-0 configuration. John takes us through not only the simple panel line modifications required for the backdating process, but also his building, painting, and weathering processes to produce the terrific model you see in the book.
Version 2 introduces 14 additional pages of photos and material about the Focke-Wulf Ta 152 H-0/ R11 currently housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington.
v2.2 Now Available!
Note: all our prices are in Australian dollars.
And thanks to Mark Proulx for alerting me to them.

For his second build, Kent converts kit 32003 into the V6 four-engine prototype, complete with figures and a Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad from Zoukei-Mura.

With no small amount of embarrassment and frustration, I have to report that the newly-restored credit and debit card payment option does in fact not work. Yes, I really should have tested it prior to making it public, which is my failing—mea culpa! Now we’re back to the drawing board while I work to get whatever the issue is resolved.
My sincere apologies if you’ve been trying to use this payment option since my previous announcement. I’ve disabled it once again until I can find a satisfactory solution.
Stay tuned!
