Building Mac’s Birddog in 1/32 Scale
Written by master modeller Eric Galliers, this 177-page digital book shows you how he built his award-winning 1/32 scale model of Macaulay “Mac the FAC” Cottrell’s Cessna O-1 Birddog. Using the Roden 1/32 scale kit as a basis, Eric modifies it to represent Mac’s Birddog as he flew it in Vietnam in 1968.
Along with the upcoming launch of Building the British Phantoms Volume Three, we’ll also be announcing our next title soon, so subscribe to the blog for all the latest news and updates!

Those of you who have seen Peter’s previous title, Building Race #80 Spitfire Mk XIVe in 1/18 Scale, will have an inkling of what to expect. This time, however, Peter is tackling a biplane, and building it entirely from scratch in his preferred 1/18 scale. The result, to no one’s surprise, is spectacular.
Work has begun, but it’s too early to give any indication of when it will be available—though the target is September. Stay tuned for updates as they come to hand!

“An excellent tour de force. I like the format very much and it is easy to follow, thorough. Peter Castle is the dedicated modeler that my book was intended to help. That he took his effort to such an extreme is truly amazing. He deserves every award and recognition coming his way. People say “it’s not brain surgery” but in his case I would have to say “it’s exactly that”. Such fine detail, the making of thousands of parts, developing techniques to make each part. Awesome!” – Paul Monforton, Canada
“Hands down one of the best modelling books I’ve ever read.” – Chris Becker, Australia
