When I first announced our next title, Building NATO’s LanceR in 1/48 Scale by Chuck Wojtkiewicz, I was pretty certain I’d be able to complete the first draft by the end of March. Well, clearly I’ve failed! Life has deigned to intervene and throw a few distractions and stumbling blocks in my general direction. But never fear! The project continues to receive daily attention, and is developing quite nicely with more than 150 pages done. With luck, we’ll be looking good for the end of April! Stay tuned for more updates.

A recent post on Britmodeller by modeller and customer John Bryon identified potential errors in our book Building the British Phantoms Volume One by Geoff Coughlin. We quickly determined that these errors were real, and needed to be corrected. These errors related to statements about the In-Flight Refuelling (IFR) not being fitted to most FG.1 Phantom, which is in fact not the case. I’d like to thank John for raising this issue, and also John Laidlaw for bringing them to my attention.
The relevant sections of the book have now been updated, and along with an amended cover and the usual typographical polishing, we now give you v2.0!
