We’ll be looking into the viability of some print-on-demand services next year. But my question for you guys is this: what would you be willing to pay for physical, printed copies of our books?
I’m pleased to announce that Building the Revell He 219A-7 in 1/32 Scale, by Iain Ogilvie, has just been updated to v1.4. This new update includes four new pages of aftermarket items, along with a few tidy-ups to the layout and typography. So, it’s not an urgent update, but free to all existing purchasers! And new purchasers will of course always receive the latest version.
And to celebrate, for the rest of November, we’ve discounted this one by a massive 30% to just 10 Australian dollars!
Building the Revell He 219A-7 in 1/32 Scale
In this 152-page eBook, renowned UK modeller Iain Ogilvie tackles the Revell 1/32 scale He 219A-7 kit, finishing it to a superb standard. Along with plenty of hints and tips throughout the build, Iain navigates a simple but ingenious way of correcting the kit’s major flaw: misshapen engine nacelles that are set at an incorrect angle.
“I then purchased your eBook and it is outstanding! Of all the reference I have on the He 219, this was a great addition on the building aspect.” – James Fullingim, USA

Building the Wingnut Wings Albatros D.Va in 1/32 Scale

Thanks to everyone who purchased Building the Wingnut Wings Albatros D.Va in 1/32 Scale for making its launch a huge success! It has already become our strongest book launch ever, and the feedback so far has been fantastic. The comment below, from Nuno Andresen in Portugal, sums it up nicely:
I purchased mine some days ago, read it thoroughly until last night and I am extremely well impressed with it. Beautiful build, spectacular painting, great reading and meticulously presented in a very consistent way that embraces all readers: from novices to experts. The digital format itself, and this has to be said, is an improvement over paper: in my iPad Pro it flows beautifully well and I can enlarge instantly every building detail I want to see sharper and larger. Pagination is pristine and the price is almost offered: it is meaningless. Congratulations to Karim Bibi! A spectacular model and a tremendous digital book. Highly recommended!
Thanks, Nuno!
