In this 164-page eBook, Kent Karlsen builds not one, but two examples of the Fly Arado 234 kit in 1/32 scale.

The feature build sees Kent take kit 32008, add a ton of scratch-built detail, and then construct an amazing airfield maintenance diorama, in a scene that might have occurred at ‘Fliegerhorst Grove’ air base, in post-surrender Denmark.

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.

Announcing “Building the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.IIIa in 1/32 Scale”!

I’m pleased to announce that our next title will be Building the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.IIIa in 1/32 Scale, by Gary Boxall. If you’ve seen Gary’s previous KLP title covering the Wingnut Wings Felixstowe, then you’ll know what to expect. This time, however, Gary has built not one, but three examples of the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.IIIa kit!

Build 1: Eugen Siempkamp’s Pfalz D.IIIa

Build 2: Hans-Georg von der Marwitz’s Pfalz D.IIIa

Build 3: Alois Heldmann’s Pfalz D.III (Conversion)

Build 1 will cover the full build in comprehensive detail, while Builds 2 and 3 will focus more on those elements that are different from the main build. Work is well under way, but as you might expect, with so much extra material, the process will take a little longer than usual!

Stay tuned for updates and information as it comes to hand.

And don’t forget that our latest is still available for purchase and immediate download:
