“Building the Wingnut Wings Felixstowe” Reaches First Draft!

I’m pleased to advise that, after a whirlwind of activity, our next book, Building the Wingnut Wings Felixstowe F.2A (Early) in 1/32 Scale, has reached first draft status. While this makes it sound like it has only reached the halfway point, in reality, the book is now largely complete, and simply needs some spit and polish. No promises, but it should be ready for an official release in a week or two.

v1.1 of “Building the Wingnut Wings Albatros D.Va” Now Available!

Our latest title, Building the Wingnut Wings Albatros D.Va in 1/32 Scale, by Karim Bibi, has only been available for two weeks, but has already received a substantial update! One aspect of Karim’s build that isn’t really covered in the book is the rigging, so we’ve brought across the 12-page rigging tutorial from the AEG G.IV book, and incorporated it into the Albatros book. Consequently, the book moves to v1.1 and 197 pages!

In this 198-page eBook, Karim Bibi builds the Wingnut Wings 1/32 scale Albatros D.Va kit to his usual excellent standard, utilising a variety of aftermarket parts and decals, along with some scratch-building, to produce an award-winning model.

Along with Karim’s terrific build, we’ve also included artwork by Ronny Bar, some historical notes by Greg VanWyndarden, and more than 90 walkaround photos of the Mercedes D.III engine by James Fahey. The v1.1 update introduces a new 12-page tutorial on rigging!

Note: all our prices are in Australian dollars.

Printed Books?

As the old saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way! KLP customer Jan Hendricks has taken the unusual (and expensive!) step of having two of our books (Building the Wingnut Wings Albatros D.Va in 1/32 Scale and Building the Wingnut Wings AEG G.IV Late in 1/32 Scale) commercially printed and bound.

And I must say, they look quite impressive!

We’ll be looking into the viability of some print-on-demand services next year. But my question for you guys is this: what would you be willing to pay for physical, printed copies of our books?

Please leave a comment here, on our Facebook page, or even contact me directly, and share your thoughts on this idea. I’d love to hear them!
