Paul Bradley Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I really hate these "on demand" publishing companies. They infest abebooks, amongst others, and are mostly Wikipedia compilations - in other words, crap. Buyer beware! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReccePhreak Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Does anybody make a "correction" set, so I can make my Airfix Bucc look like the one in that "High Quality" photo? Larry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Well the wings fold, it has a fixed AAR probe and 2 engines, surely that's close enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigsty Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Are these actually real? I ask because the text in grey looks like Google key words or similar, and I can't see how a book on the Buccaneer could give the Q-5 so much prominence as to elevate it to a key word; nor how "reciprocating engine" could do the same for the A-6. They seem more like mock-ups that might turn out to be much better when published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadeocu Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 A scam for sure; I encountered this 'publication" while searching ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blackburn-Buccaneer-NEW-by-Frederic-P-Miller-/150890415922?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item2321c50732 $63.23 for what is essentially plagiarized internet dribble is shocking! What is "trade paper" format anyhow? The A-6 cover is even more ridiculous. Is that a civilian airliner? At least the confusion between the A-6 and Bucc is somewhat logical!

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The response was 'I'm not in a position to check on the stock (for accuracy etc). Please don't hesitate to ask if we can help further'. Lot of help that was, they haven't a clue, and couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Lot of help that was, they haven't a clue, and couldn't care less.
