“Building the Italeri MC.202 Folgore” Reaches First Draft! I'm pleased to report that our next Build Guide, Building the Italeri MC.202 Folgore in 1/32 Scale by John Kim, has reached the first draft stage, and now enters the final round of editing and polishing. This process is usually very quick, and I would expect a formal release of v1.0 by the end of next week. This eBook not only features John's superb build of the Italeri Folgore kit, but also 27 pages of historical data and photos by Mark Proulx, and profile artwork by James Bentley.

20% Off Back Online Sale! Those of you who follow myself or KLP Publishing on social media will be aware that last week was a difficult one for both myself and the business. It all started with losing our Internet access in the early hours of Monday morning thanks to a dead modem, moved through to my wife being rushed to hospital Tuesday night and ultimately having her gallbladder removed, and encompassed the KLP server being offline for hours at a time during this period.
