04 January 2009Droppin' the "411" for this week at Twobobs!

What's New This Week!

Happy 2009 everyone! We hope that all of you had a great holidays and were able to enjoy some down time with family and friends. We spent a couple of weeks with our son and his girlfriend in DC. I go to DC quite often but it's always work related so it was nice to be able to relax and take in all the sites with family and friends. We also spent some time with Teri's family in Johnsonburg, PA. It's been quite a while since we've seen all of them and I was able to get my annual fix of venison and bear meat. Yummy stuff...

Well we're back now and have been working hard to get out from underneath the mountain of orders waiting for us. We'll be caught up by the end of next week so please give us some time to get through them all. A big batch is going out in tomorrow's mail so hang tight. Much appreciated! The new releases are selling very well (Drakens, Typhoons and Victim Viper specifically).

Hot Babe of the week is up. I honestly can't remember if this one has been up before or not. Always lots going on over here and sometimes I lose the bubble so my apologies if this is a dupe.

OK so it's back to work tomorrow for a lot of us (me included) and I hope that everyone was able to recharge their batteries and will get after in 2009 with lots of energy! Happy New Years to everyone!

Decals In Work!

K guys, you see the list to the right on what we have coming in our next round of releases. Starting off this year with a bang and we have stuff coming in all three scales for you. Quick rundown...

72-081 KC-135R Tanker Tango: This will be a multiple sheet release with a pretty decent sized instruction sheet for obvious reasons. One set of generic stencils and options for lots of jets. McConnell, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and anything else I can shove on there will make it on the sheet. Not too late to accept references on this guy so if you have anything you want to share, fire away to this E-mail addy! Good ol' Jeff Stoermer has provided refs for a lot of these but the more the merrier for sure.

72-082 J35F1/J Swedish Drakens: We've gotten a ton of requests to downsize our 48th scale Draken sheets and we'll oblidge with this release. Four jets with enough options for two most likely.

72-083/32-056 F-105D Commonwealth Thuds: Combo sheet to go with the Trumpeter kits. Everyone always wonders why there aren't any 32nd scale Thud sheets? Well here's one option for you. All Virginia ANG jets with nose art. Eight jets total with basic stencils for one.

48-191 AH-64A/D Down n' Dirty Apaches: This is going to be one heck of an impressive sheet. Jonathan Bernstein has provided us with ad-nauseum reference data for a whole boatload of helos. Active duty, guard, OIF/OEF, Pittsburgh Steeler fly-over birds. Too much to list. This will most likely be a multi-sheet release given the sheer number of options. I'm pretty jazzed about this one.

48-192 F/A-18C VFA-151 Patriot Vigilantes: This sheet was announced earlier and slipped a bit due to some other sheets that needed to come out. New CAG with OIF mission markings as well as some commemorative line jets from 9/11/2001 which have never been released.

48-193 F-105D Commonwealth Thuds: Sized for the new Hobby Boss kit. Eight options with most likely one set of stencils. All Virginia ANG jets with nose art.

48-194 F-15A ASAT Eagles: Markings for the two jets assigned to this satellite killer program from the 1980's. Complete references were provided to us from the Air Force as well as Gen. Doug Pearson who flew the ASAT mission. Look for Twomikes to release a resin ASAT missile to go with this release.

48-195/32-055 A-7D Molar Marauder: Korat jet from 1973 that had "old man teeth" painted on it one night under cover. Don Logan as well as Paul Metz captured this aircraft the one day that the jet had these markings. Quickly removed once the commander found out but you'll be able to get it in decal form from Twobobs. Both 48th and 32nd scale jets will be on this sheet.

Lots going on as usual around here and we'll be posting images as artwork gets finished. All of these sheets are in some state of work so we'll see which one's get done first. More to come!
