v1.3 of “Building the Hasegawa Fw 190D-9” Now Available!

Every now and then I have the misfortune of discovering an error or flaw in one of our books. Such was the case today with Build Guide Series No. 17, Building the Hasegawa Fw 190D-9 in 1/32 Scale, by John Kim. It seems that a few images in the Appendices didn’t make it through the PDF production stage for some reason. These have been restored now, and along with some additional layout and typographical updates, this has culminated in the immediate availability of v1.3!

Not only that, but as part of our current Christmas Sale, it’s also available for 20% off by using the coupon code XMAS23 at checkout.

This update is free for all existing purchasers, so if you’ve already bought and downloaded the book, we 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. If you don’t have either of those things, please contact me and we’ll sort it out. New purchasers will always receive the latest version.

Stay tuned for more news soon!

“Building the Hasegawa Fw 190D-9 in 1/32 Scale” Now Available!

I’m pleased to announce that our latest title, Building the Hasegawa Fw 190D-9 in 1/32 Scale, is now available for immediate purchase and download!

In this 342-page eBook, John Kim guides you through the process of building, painting, weathering, and finishing the Hasegawa 1/32 scale Fw 190D-9 kit. He uses a carefully curated selection of aftermarket products, and cuts his own paint masks for the markings. The result is a stunning model that is both instructive and inspirational.

We’ve also included profile artwork from Eagle Editions and JaPo, along with our usual appendices featuring aftermarket products and reference titles.

The cut files for John’s paint masks have been included as a bonus download, in DXF, Studio3 (for the Silhouette platform), PDF, and SVG formats. And if you don’t have access to a cutting machine, the PDF version could still be printed out and used as a template for cutting out the mask shapes by hand.

And as with all our books, should any updates be required, anyone who purchased a prior version gets lifetime free access to all subsequent updated versions! All new purchasers will of course receive the updated version automatically.

See you all again soon!
