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

What's New This Week!

Hello everyone! Today I get to breathe a sigh of relief because today is the day that we have FINALLY caught up on all of our orders from this current release!

This release really buried us due to us taking time off for the holidays and the Drakens and Typhoons being so popular. Three weeks later, we've finally caught up. Teri and I apologize for taking so long to get these out to you. Look for them in your mailbox (if you haven't received them yet) in one weeks time. They will go in the mail this coming Tuesday.

Hot Babe of the week is up. 90th Anniversary Hawk markings from the UK. Not sure if anyone's done this guy up in decal form yet. Nonetheless, Paolo Maglio has sent us some pretty nice pics of this guy. Thanks Paolo!

Just got back from Tucson on business. I continue on with artwork for the next round of releases. More news here in a few!

If any of you have any more references on KC-135R's, by all means E-mail me. We've collected quite a few and this sheet is in work. My plan is to make this a multi-sheet release and I'll shove as many units on there as possible so by all means, keep sending stuff!

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!

News on 3rd Party Friends of Twobobs!

The C-17A sheets have proven to be very popular and we have sold out of X44005. We have some more on order so hopefully we'll get a restock here shortly.

X44005 C-17A Globemaster III USAF $11.33

X44006 C-17A Globemaster III RAF. RAAF, Canadian $9.91

We've received a pretty sizeable restock of Xtradecal and Modeldecal so take a look if the last go-round the sheet you were looking for was out of stock.

You folks have a great week!!
