PHANTOM BOOK DEMANDS A REPRINT!

BEST LAID PLANS AND ALL THAT..!

When I announced this book several months ago, I decided that I would only print a set number of copies and then move on. That was simply a choice that ensured I kept the work to a minimum and that I could deal with it and then get back to the day job. Well, that soon changed as more interest came in beyond my initial print-run. That being so, I’ve decided to offer it again for sale, though this time keeping it ‘print to order’, only requesting copies that have been preordered and paid for, via this update.

Below, you will find all of the information that you need to place an order for the book. I can then collate those confirmed orders over the next week and send the final number to the printers. All being well, everyone that still wants a copy, can now get one!

HERE’S HOW TO ORDER YOUR BOOK!

Before I begin, please can you ensure that you read all of the following update, as it contains plenty of important information!

Many of you have already reserved copies of this book, so now, with the models complete and content ready to be finalised and sent to the printers, you have the chance to complete your order and buy your copy. Below, you will find all of the payment details that will allow you to order your exclusive copy of this exciting new book.

As with previous titles, this one is being created as a strictly limited-run product and as before, the price reflects this. Many of you will already have the other books in your collections so – hopefully – will know what this means in terms of quality and how enjoyable it is to own something that’s rather niche in its approach! Though each one is more expensive than comparable titles, I believe that they are books that you will enjoy and want to keep as part of your collections. 

Here you will find payment links for you to purchase a copy of this new book.

DETAILS, DETAILS…

When using the Paypal links, PLEASE can you ensure that you leave your full name and postal address so that I can complete my ordering list ready to have the books sent out to you. Often, I see only screen names and no other details, so you must complete the details as accurately as possible. Without all of your information, including you full name and postal address, I can’t track you down and complete the order. Can you also confirm that you have placed your order and made your payment via email, using the email address seen below. This will allow me to confirm your payment with you and request any additional information should it be required. Because of the way that PayPal reveals information on their site, sometimes I won’t see your address or email, so please be sure to send your address  – without it, I can’t send your book out!

MCDONELL’S F-4 PHANTOM II: US NAVY VARIANTS PART ONE

Here is my look at this incredible aircraft and its use within the US Navy. The book will cover three different kits, the Tamiya 1/48 F-4B, The Academy F-4B and the Zoukei-Mura F-4J. Part two of this series will focus on the Monogram, Hasegawa and ESCI/Italeri kits (available 2025).

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS BRAND-NEW TITLE?

Detailed chapters offer the enthusiast all they will ever need to tackle each kit, with in-depth discussions on assembly, detailing, painting, decals and weathering.

Here are just some of the pages that you can expect to see in your copy when it arrives through your letter box. Note that these are in-progress pages and will be checked and completed before printing!
