I’m pleased to announce that we’ve just added a brand-new 28-page Walkaround section to Building the Airfix Buccaneer S.2C in 1/48 Scale, and thus released a Version 2.0 update! These photos, taken by Tony Patrickson of Anbarún Models, feature Buccaneer S.2 XV361 at the Ulster Aviation Society museum in Northern Ireland.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, for the next 7 days, we’ve also reduced the price to a mere 12 Australian dollars! The discounted price ends at midnight, Monday 26 February 2024, AEDT.
In this 116-page eBook, renowned UK modeller Geoff Coughlin takes you through the building and painting of this new kit. Along with Geoff’s terrific build, we’ve also included some colour profiles by Simon Hill, an overview of the kit itself, and a set of ordnance-related bonus photos—and a brand-new Walkaround section.
This a free update for all existing purchasers, and of course new purchasers will always receive the latest version of any of our books.

Building the British Phantoms Volume Three: The F-4J(UK) in RAF Service
In this 390-page eBook, Geoff Coughlin completes the Building the British Phantoms series with a detailed look at the F-4J(UK) in RAF service. The book features chapters on the F-4J’s inception and key features, along with 9 model builds, 3 colour profiles, a cockpit walkaround, and a foreword by Group Captain Dick Northcote OBE BA RAF (Retd).
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.

The third title in our Build Guide Series, Building the Revell He 219A-7 in 1/32 Scale, turns 5 today! And to celebrate, for the next 7 days, we’ve reduced the price to a mere 12 Australian dollars.
In this 117-page eBook, renowned UK modeller Iain Ogilvie tackles the Revell 1/32 scale He 219A-7 kit, finishing it to a superb standard. Along with plenty of hints and tips throughout the build, Iain navigates a simple but ingenious way of correcting the kit’s major flaw: misshapen engine nacelles that are set at an incorrect angle.
“I then purchased your eBook and it is outstanding! Of all the reference I have on the He 219, this was a great addition on the building aspect.” – James Fullingim, USA

I’m pleased to report that the 4th title in our Build Guide Series, Building the Fly Arado Ar 234 in 1/32 Scale by Kent Karlsen, has just been updated to v2.1. And to celebrate, for the next 7 days, we’ve reduced the price to a mere 10 Australian dollars!
Building the Fly Arado Ar 234 in 1/32 Scale
In this 164-page eBook, Kent Karlsen builds not one, but two examples of the Fly Arado 234 kit in 1/32 scale.
The feature build sees Kent take kit 32008, add a ton of scratch-built detail, and then construct an amazing airfield maintenance diorama, in a scene that might have occurred at ‘Fliegerhorst Grove’ air base, in post-surrender Denmark.
For his second build, Kent converts kit 32003 into the V6 four-engine prototype, complete with figures and a Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad from Zoukei-Mura.
This update consists mostly of some typographical polishing, but there have also been some minor layout tweaks. As such, it’s not considered a vital upgrade.
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.
Our second title, Building Mac’s Birddog in 1/32 Scale, published way back in September of 2017, turns 6 years old today. And to celebrate, for the next 7 days, we’ve reduced its price to just 10 Australian dollars!
Building Mac’s Birddog in 1/32 Scale
Written by master modeller Eric Galliers, this 177-page digital book shows you how he built his award-winning 1/32 scale model of Macaulay “Mac the FAC” Cottrell’s Cessna O-1 Birddog. Using the Roden 1/32 scale kit as a basis, Eric modifies it to represent Mac’s Birddog as he flew it in Vietnam in 1968.
Along with the upcoming launch of Building the British Phantoms Volume Three, we’ll also be announcing our next title soon, so subscribe to the blog for all the latest news and updates!
