“Building Brick’s Sabre” Updated to v2.1 and Now On Sale!

I’m pleased to report that our very first publication, Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale, turns 7 years old today, and to celebrate, we’ve not only updated it to v2.1, but also reduced the price to just 12 Australian dollars for the next 7 days!

The update itself consists of the usual tweaks to layout and typography, and is not considered essential.

Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale

Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale

Written by master modeller Eric Galliers, this 123-page digital book shows you how he built his award-winning 1/32 scale model of K.J. “Brick” Bricknell’s CAC Sabre. Using the Italeri 1/32 scale F-86F kit as a basis, Eric modifies it to the Avon-powered configuration employed by CAC-built RAAF Sabres, to produce an exquisite replica of Brick’s Sabre as he flew it in 1963.

v2.1 Now Available!

Building the Kitty Hawk T-6/Harvard in 1/32 Scale

In this 209-page eBook, Kevin Futter and Chuck Sawyer tackle the Kitty Hawk Texan/Harvard kit in 1/32 scale. The first build is an out-of-box build using no aftermarket parts and as few modifications to the basic kit as possible. The model is also finished using the kit decals. This build is designed to illustrate what can be achieved using only the kit parts, and highlight any problems with the kit itself.

In the second build, Chuck Sawyer addresses many of the kit’s shortcomings, using a modicum of aftermarket parts and some scratch-building to enhance the accuracy, detail, and realism of the resulting model.

Announcing “Scratchbuilding the Hawker Fury in 1/18 Scale”!

I’m pleased to announce that our next title will be Scratchbuilding the Hawker Fury in 1/18 Scale, by the fabulously talented Peter Castle, of airscale fame.

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!

And while you’re waiting, if you haven’t already, check out Peter’s previous title for KLP Publishing:
