Building the Zoukei-Mura Ki-45 in 1/32 Scale
Build Guide Series No.6
KLP Publishing
Online publishing is now starting to find its way into the modelling community. KLP Publishing is one of the new online publishers, specialising in eBooks for the scale aircraft modelling community. Their debut title Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale: A Scale Tribute to K.J. "Brick" Bricknell reviewed here has proved to be a success. They have since done titles on the Bird Dog, Spitfire XIVe, AEG G.IV Late, FW 189, He 219. and P-51. Their latest title tackles building Zoukei-Mura's Ki-45. This was done by modeller Jan Gabauer. Here the build is OOB without any aftermarket to show the merits of the kit. As well as the normal build it brings us a review of the kit. Also of use to the modeller is appendices covering Aftermarket, and reference work available for the kit.
Conclusion
This is the type of publication that the new digital format is made for. If you want a book for a specific build having a digital publication saves you space on your bookshelves. This is clearly a book written by modellers for modellers. The text is clear and concise and the great selection of crisp pictures is welcome, many more than you would get in a printed publication. Highly recommended.
