Maritime stuff!
Coming this week:

Italeri Elco 80ft PT Boat 1.35 scale – Mat B’s Elco is coming along and should get a decent update very soon – watch this space
Academy Perry Class Frigate 1:350 scale – Ian promises a great update very soon. I’ve seen the first sample pics of the next update and his brass work is awesome! Watch out, it’s coming soon…
Check out Here Now too for some detailed in-box reviews AND some very interesting maritime projects will be coming to Build Now in the next couple of weeks…
Books, Books and more Books!
Some stunning additions have been added to your Book Review area – just check out the amazing new title from ‘The Aviation Workshop Publications’ – V-Bombers, Britain’s Cold War Deterrent – fantastic – probably the definitive reference for scale modellers. AND we are planning an exciting project to go with this great title – keep an eye out in Build Now – it won’t be long coming…
Have a great week!
