And so it goes. You fix a bunch of mistakes … and miss one! In the publishing industry we call this Muphry’s Law. But we didn’t just fix a mistake for v1.2 of Building the Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII in 1/32 Scale—we also included an extra page with two new images of the seat buckle configuration that Gary discusses as part of the build.

Building the Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII in 1/32 Scale

In this 382-page eBook, Gary Boxall builds not one, but two Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII kits in 1/32 scale. The first and most extensive build sees Gary detailing, modifying, and improving the kit to produce Gotthard Sachsenberg’s brightly-coloured machine. The second build leverages the first, and focuses on what it takes to produce a post-war Dutch version of this famous WWI aircraft. We’ve also included our usual Appendices section, covering available aftermarket and reference material.

I’m pleased to announce that Building the Kitty Hawk T-6/Harvard in 1/32 Scale has now been updated to v1.1. And for the next 7 days, it’s on sale for just 12 Australian dollars! (Sale ends midnight, 5 March 2025, AEDT.)

Building the Kitty Hawk T-6/Harvard in 1/32 Scale

In this 209-page eBook, Kevin Futter and Chuck Sawyer tackle the Kitty Hawk Texan/Harvard kit in 1/32 scale. The first build is an out-of-box build using no aftermarket parts and as few modifications to the basic kit as possible. The model is also finished using the kit decals. This build is designed to illustrate what can be achieved using only the kit parts, and highlight any problems with the kit itself.

In the second build, Chuck Sawyer addresses many of the kit’s shortcomings, using a modicum of aftermarket parts and some scratch-building to enhance the accuracy, detail, and realism of the resulting model.

I’m pleased to report that the KLP website has now been transferred to a new server. If you see this post via email, you may still find that the DNS changes for the website itself are still playing catch-up, in which case you will see the image below:

If you see the standard KLP website, then that should be the new site, and you’re safe to browse the catalogue and place orders once again. If you have any trouble accessing any part of the site, or placing an order, please contact me and I’ll investigate. There are bound to be some teething issues after a change like this, but they’re usually quick and easy to solve once they’re identified.

Once things have settled in, work will continue on our next title, so stay tuned for more news soon!

Some time in the next 10 days, the KLP Publishing website will be moving to a new server. This will inevitably entail some unavoidable downtime, unfortunately. I’m hoping that his won’t be more than a few hours, but will try to provide as much advance notice as I can before we go offline. (Note that this server migration will also affect the Large Scale Planes and Scale Model Paint Masks websites.)

In the mean time, please avail yourselves of our copious catalogue of digital publications at bargain prices!

Stay tuned for further updates as they happen.
