I’m pleased to report that our next title, Building the Airfix Gannet AS.1/AS.4 in 1/48 Scale by Gary Boxall, is now completed, and is undergoing final edits and revision. This process is not expected to take long, so we should be in a position to launch the book some time in the next few days.
Stay tuned!
Recently, I reported that there had been some issues with customers attempting to pay using credit cards, with the payment process failing to complete. I can now tentatively report that this issue appears to be solved. I say “tentatively” because very few customers pay by credit card, so I don’t have a large enough sample of successful credit card payments to be definitive about it—but I remain hopeful!
So, if you’ve been holding off making a purchase due to my previous post, now would be a great time to try again. And if you’ve recently tried to make a purchase with a credit card (within the last 10 days) and it failed, please let me know, as I get no indication or record of these failed payments at my end.
Here’s a look at some of our recent titles, just to whet your appetite!
I’m pleased to announce that our very first Build Guide, Building the Wingnut Wings AEG G.IV Late in 1/32 Scale, has just been updated to v1.5. And to celebrate, for the next 7 days, we’ve reduced the price to a mere 12 Australian dollars!
Written by expert modeller Karim Bibi, this 183-page digital book takes you through building the impressive Wingnut Wings 1/32 scale AEG G.IV Late kit. Karim shows you the building, painting, decalling, and weathering techniques he used to produce his stunning model, including how to produce paint masks to replicate the iconic nose markings.
Version 1.6 now available!
Note: all our prices are in Australian dollars.
For the curious, this update includes a few typographical tweaks, some minor layout improvements, and a couple of upgraded images.
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.
And don’t forget out latest releases!

I’m pleased to announce that the next title in our Build Guide Series will be Building the Airfix Gannet AS.1/AS.4 in 1/48 Scale, by Gary Boxall.
We are in the preliminary phases of developing this title, so stay tuned for more news and information!
And don’t forget our most recent release, available now for immediate purchase and download:
In this 417-page eBook, author Károly Magó covers the camouflage paints and schemes of the Royal Hungarian Air Force from inception until 1945 in forensic detail. Using historical photos, original documentation, and extensive primary research, the author sets out to answer the following basic question: “whether the Hungarian Air Force had used Hungarian or German standardised colours and shades to paint the aircraft”.
Along with extensive discussion of the subject, the book features over 200 photos, dozens of original source documents, period advertisements, and colour comparisons using salvaged aircraft pieces. Written with a modeller’s eye, the book also includes 46 colour profiles by Viktor Szalai.
A number of customers have recently brought to my attention some issues with paying by credit card in our webstore. The webstore uses the PayPal payment processing gateway for credit cards, and you don’t need a PayPal account to use this. Lately it appears that many—perhaps all—of these transactions have been failing, with the payment process stalling after submitting the relevant details.
Please be assured that when these transactions fail, no order is placed, and no payment is made.
Suffice it to say that I’m quite concerned by this, and have been following it up with the various software vendors involved in an attempt to get to the bottom of the issue. Standard PayPal payments are working fine, so until further notice, I can only advise that you use this option if it is available to you.
In the meantime, I’d like to thank those customers who alerted me to this issue, and will continue with efforts to resolve it, and as quickly as possible.
I’m pleased to announce that our latest title, Chevron and Cross: Camouflage Paints and Camouflage Schemes of the Royal Hungarian Air Force, is now available!

I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone to remember to download the books you purchase from us here at KLP Publishing. I’m currently sitting on a list of 15 customers who have failed to download their purchases for some reason over the past several months. I’ve reached out to each of you twice via email, using the email address supplied in your order—once from my KLP email address, and once again using a Gmail account. If you didn’t receive your order confirmation email containing the download links, or either of the follow-up emails, please contact me and we’ll sort it out. If you’re simply not sure of the download process, I’ve written a handy guide that should answer any of your questions:
As outlined in that article, if you created (or were logged into) an account while making the purchase, then the books will always be available from the Downloads section of your profile.
Occasionally a customer will make a purchase without understanding that all our books are digital-only, and will quietly sit and wait for something to arrive in the post. While this is unfortunate, and a refund is available upon request (provided the books have not already been downloaded), most are happy to download the digital book once they realise their mistake. However, if you’re in this boat yourself, and now can’t find a download link, please contact me and we’ll rectify the situation.
If you’re not sure if this situation applies to you, or have any other questions, simple reach out through whatever channel suits you best (email, Facebook, Instagram or on the website), and I’ll do what I can to resolve the issue.
