I’d like to start this post by extending my warmest wishes to everyone on the arrival of the new year, and yet again thank you all for supporting KLP Publishing throughout 2024. Happy New Year!
The real business though, is to provide a loose preview of what’s in store from us over the next 12 months. I’m going to present things in no particular order, other than certainty of publication, and with the inevitable caveat that nothing here is set in stone. Our latest release, Building the Hasegawa Ki-61-I Tei Hien in 1/32 Scale, teetered on the brink of falling on either side of the date line, but we managed to just sneak it in as the last release for 2024. Phew!
Moving into 2025, we have a sequence of titles that represent the first four books we’ll publish in the year, with the exact order to be decided.
First cab off the rank is Gary Boxall‘s twin builds of the Wingnut Wings 1/32 Fokker D.VII kit:
As well as the main build featured on the cover, Gary also builds a post-war Dutch version using decals from Dutch Decals.
Next up is Geoff Coughlin‘s build of the Tamiya 1/48 F-4B kit:
Next, Chuck Sawyer returns with his build of the Tamiya 1/32 F-16:
And finally, Gary is back again with his build of the Tamiya 1/48 F-35B in a landing configuration:
So, that’s the first four builds of the year out of the way, but there will be much more than that! One that I’m quite excited about is Nat Wale Plaia’s build of the HK Models A-20G in 1/32 scale:
On top of that, there’s a massive Skyraider project from Bill Hollis, Jeremy Moore’s Special Hobby Yak-9T, and potentially a Border Lancaster. There are always projects in negotiation and development, so I’m sure this list will grow and change as the year progresses.
