“A Modeller’s Guide to the Ju 88 G-6”: First Reviews Are In!

Many thanks to all of you who have purchased our new title, A Modeller’s Guide to the Ju 88 G-6 Night Fighter by John McIllmurray, for helping to make it our most successful book launch ever! It has smashed all records so far, and the first reviews are in:

Just got my copy. Worth every penny. It is not a booklet, it is a 240Mb volume packed with photos (many new to me), factory drawings, walkarounds, assembly schemes… everything. Even if you are not a modeler, it is a great volume in any library. The modeling section is about the book’s final third, where the author walks you through some of the most detailed and researched modeling projects I’ve ever seen on the subject. I cannot recommend it enough. I bet it would be sold out by now if it was a printed book. Congratulations to Mr. McIllmurray and Kevin for the great job.”

– Rato Marczak, Brazil

I’m afraid to say…this is simply the BEST Ju88 reference ever published!

– Thierry Laurent, Belgium

Wow! I have just purchase this new book and can’t recommend it highly enough – absolutely outstanding in every respect. Love the profiles especially not to mention the huge resource it will be for anyone with any interest in WW2 Luftwaffe aircraft. Just buy it, it’s incredible value for money.

– Geoff Coughlin, Scale Modelling Now

My compliments to all involved and providing us with a superb Ju 88 G-6 reference!

– Mark Proulx

“A Modeller’s Guide to the Ju 88 G-6” is Now Available!

I’m pleased to announce that our latest title, A Modeller’s Guide to the Ju 88 G-6 Night Fighter, is now available for immediate purchase and download!

In this epic 1,031-page eBook, Ju 88 G-6 devotee John McIllmurray covers every conceivable aspect of the history and development of this important Ju 88 sub-type. The book is in fact broken into 4 separate documents:

  • Modellers_Guide_Ju-88G-6.pdf
  • Appendix_1_Ju88G-6_Loss_Record.pdf
  • Appendix_2_Ju88G-6_Pilot_Claims.pdf
  • Ju-88G-6_Artwork.pdf

The main document contains over 1,000 images, and 106,000 words! There’s a full conversion of the Revell 1/32 Ju 88 A-1 kit to a G-6, along with 39 colour profiles, stencil guides, painting schemes, aircraft and unit data, structural analyses, aircraft losses, pilot claims, and much more. In short, it really is the definitive modeller’s guide to the Ju 88 G-6.

It’s important when purchasing this book to download all 4 of the associated files, as collectively they’re considered a single work, which has been broken up to allow for optimal formatting of their respective content.

This is by far our largest-ever work, and represents a major labour of love for author John McIllmurray. We hope you find it both useful and inspirational!

v2.0 of “Building the Fly Arado Ar 234” Now Available!

I’m pleased to announce that No. 5 in our Build Guide Series, Building the Fly Arado Ar 234 in 1/32 Scale by Kent Karlsen, has now been updated to v2.0! As with our other recent book updates, this title has received a major makeover, with extensive layout changes that have yielded 8 extra pages. This expanded layout doesn’t contain any new content, but rather, improves the readability of a few sections that I felt were a little crowded.

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.
