After a bit of a delay I’m pleased to say that we have a flurry of book publishing activity coming your way, as follows:
Airframe & Miniature No 25-The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt - A Complete Guide to Republic’s Mighty ‘Juggernaut’ by Richard A Franks

- Specially commissioned front cover artwork by Jerry Boucher
- Set of fold-out scale plans
Cover price 28.95 ISBN: 978-1-912932-39-9
A quick update on our P-47 Thunderbolt title.
Owing to a surfeit of images and the redesign that comes with it Airframe & Miniature No 25 has increased in size to 288 pages. This means that the post-publication cover price has to increase slightly to £29.95.
However we will honour any prepublication orders placed at the RRP of £28.95 per copy. There will be a slight delay in getting the title to press by about one week.
Airframe Detail Second Edition-The Westland Lysander
Now expanded to 144 pages.
- Build of the Airfix 1/48th scale Mk I/III kit
- Updated walkaround with more than 55 added images
- 50 plus historical images added to the introduction and markings sections
- Updated lists of kits, accessories, masks and decals
- 28 additional pages (a total of 140 pages plus covers)
Cover price £21.95 ISBN: 978-1-912932-43-6
Plus we have reprinted Airframe Album No 6-The Focke Wulf Fw 189 Uhu and Airframe Detail No 8-The Horten Ho 229. These are limited run reprints and won’t be around for long.
