It turns out that 2 images somehow didn’t survive the final packaging process for the book, and were in fact missing! This has now been rectified. This update is therefore considered an important one that restores missing content, and should not be skipped.

This a free update for all existing purchasers, and of course new purchasers will always receive the latest version of any of our books.

In order to obtain your free update, simply re-download the book using either the original download link in your Order Confirmation email, or log in to your KLP account and download it from the Downloads section of your profile. If you don’t have either, please contact me and we’ll sort it out.

v2.0 of “Building the British Phantoms Vol. 1” Now Available!

A recent post on Britmodeller by modeller and customer John Bryon identified potential errors in our book Building the British Phantoms Volume One by Geoff Coughlin. We quickly determined that these errors were real, and needed to be corrected. These errors related to statements about the In-Flight Refuelling (IFR) not being fitted to most FG.1 Phantom, which is in fact not the case. I’d like to thank John for raising this issue, and also John Laidlaw for bringing them to my attention.

The relevant sections of the book have now been updated, and along with an amended cover and the usual typographical polishing, we now give you v2.0!

Existing purchasers are able to access the updated version for free. Simply log in to your account (or use your original download link) and re-download the book from the Downloads section of your profile. If you don’t have an account or the original download link, please contact me and we’ll sort it out. And of course, new purchasers will always receive the latest version.

Both Geoff and I apologise unreservedly for these errors, and thank all those involved in helping us correct them.

“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!
