Malcolm has spent decades working in aviation publishing and the model aircraft industry, and is one of New Zealand&#8217;s most well known model products manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His company Ventura Publications produces decal sets as aftermarket add-ons to scale model kitsets. He also researches, writes and and publishes books on aviation topics and Air Force history, often in collaboration with other historians. He has also been a small-run kitset manufacturer, both vacuum formed and injection moulded, through his original company Falcon Models, which is now owned by Tory Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malcolm discusses all this, and he details his newly released book, Pacific Kittyhawk, which he has co-authored with the eminent RNZAF historian, David Duxbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quick
