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.
