This update is free for all existing purchasers, so if you’ve already bought and downloaded the book, we encourage you to grab it again by simply re-downloading it—either from your account if you have one, or by using the original download link in your order confirmation email. If you don’t have either of those things, please contact me and we’ll sort it out. New purchasers will always receive the latest version.

“Building the British Phantoms Vol. 2” Reaches First Draft!

I’m pleased to announce that our next title, Building the British Phantoms Volume Two, has reached the first draft stage of development. While this makes it sound like a mere halfway point, the book is in fact substantially complete, and now only needs some final revisions and a bit of spit and polish. We’re on track for a release before the end of January.

Not only that, but Volume Two has come in at a smidgen under 600 pages—and we thought Volume One was massive! It’s now our largest-ever publication, edging out Building Race #80 Spitfire Mk XIVe in 1/18 Scale by Peter Castle (565 pages). If you’re familiar with Volume One, then you’ll know what to expect—just more of it!

Stay tuned for an official release announcement!

And don’t forget Volume One if you haven’t purchased it yet:

Building the British Phantoms Volume Two

Geoff Coughlin, author of our recent title Building the British Phantoms Volume One, has been beavering away its follow-up, entitled Building the British Phantoms Volume Two, oddly enough! Geoff has been in touch with some news about his progress, which I thought I’d share as something of a teaser:

I just wanted to give you a heads up on this next volume as I’m really excited – it is better by some way than Volume One.

I really just wanted to say that Volume Two stats so far are:

• 306 photos – excluding all the model builds
• 11 model builds covering all three scales: 1:72, 1:48 and a great conversion of the Tamiya F-4J into an FGR.2 – no mean feat by the contributor!
• 11 model gallery entries
• 26 profiles from Simon Hill

So a bit of an epic coming for Volume two. I hope you’ll like V2 as much as I do – a great Foreword too by Dave Gledhill former RAF navigator.

So there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth: Volume Two is going to be epic! (And no, Geoff, I’m not calling you a horse!)

Volume One has been one of our most popular and successful titles, so if you haven’t checked it out already, I can only encourage you to do so.
