What's New This Week!




Hot Babe of the Week is courtesy of Daniel Soulaine. Great job as usual Daniel! I owe you a cold, tall one!

Diana and Egg Plane Decals are still selling briskly over here. Pretty popular sets of sheets this go-round!







We've been receiving lots of E-mails and messages on our phone over here as to the release date of our Centennial sheets. More than a few (a lot more) have asked us to make these sheets available for pre-order so they can be sure they get one before they all sell out. Heck some of you have even asked for an "auto-bill/auto-pay" feature that automatically bills/ships these decals as they're released!

While we have traditionally had an aversion to offering pre-orders for our decals (the T-2 Buckeye kit was a different situation completely), after talking it over with Teri we're going to go ahead and do that this time due to the massive response we've been getting over here.

Terms of the pre-order are clearly stated on our website on each specific product that is available for pre-order. Currently 48-228, 48-229 and 48-230 are available for pre-order. If your order includes any other product from our site that is currently available, we will pull your order and hold it in reserve until the CoNA sheets come in. Once those sheets arrive, we will send the entire order at the same time. Due to multiple requests by our regular customers, we are marking our Naval Centennial sheets available for pre-order.

Hope this helps you guys out that are anxiously awaiting these sheets! You'll be sure to be one of the first on the list and these will go out the door to you as soon as they are received and packaged!

Thanks to the US Navy for making the timeliness of these sheet releases possible. They've been a great help over here in getting us everything we need from photos to paint schematics to measurement documentation. Fantastic group of guys, all of 'em!
Decals In Work!
OK so a CTRL-ALT-DEL on all the Centennial sheets with images below. Keep scrolling and you can see where we're at right now!

The VFA-106 scheme has enough markings for both complete jets. I went ahead and printed the CoNA logo as well as the nose art on this guy using a 4-color process so I could get the colors "just so". There are subtle differences between the official logo, the external tank logo and the fuselage logo as they appear on the jet and I've captured those.







The VAQ-129 sheet also has enough stencils for both jets. The Prowler has a little something "extra" going on in that we've provided you with rudder markings that fit both the Monogram kit and the newer Kinetic kit. External tank markings are also included on this sheet. The white markings on this sheet are "double-layered" so you won't have any opacity or bleed through problems when you put this decal against a dark background.







VFA-122/VFC-12. I went ahead and did the white stripes on this guy after much consternation on whether to have the modeler paint the tail white and provide blue decals or provide white decals to go over the blue tail. Went ahead and took this route since I wasn't convinced that the blue stripes could be color matches accurately enough to the fuselage paint color. The white decals are double-layered with white so you won't have any problems with opacity. For you guys that opt to paint the white/blue tail stripes yourself, I've provided a blue "10" serial for the tail.<<br>








VX-31/VFA-204 below. In addition to the Centennial jets from both squadrons, I've included an A-4C from "back in the day" that was the motivating scheme for the Centennial scheme that VX-31 painted on their Hornet. The VFA-204 jet has tons of stencils on it, external fuel tank markings and as usual, the white is double-layered for maximum opacity with no bleed thru.





VX-9 "Easter Egg" Super Hornets. Full set of stencils for both jets are on this sheet and both intake and exhaust markings are also included for both jets!





As stated in previous newsletters, all of our CoNA sheets will include a 3" pressure sensitive sticker in each package. Use these for your display base or plaster that guy on your mini-fridge in your office!



Florida Makos, Snakes and Dragons and the F-4 Data Stencil sheet are also coming soon. Not sure which one's will show up here first but they're all out the door in the print qeue!











Whew!!! Just got a couple of minor things to tweak on the VX-31 sheet and these Centennial sheets in 48th scale are done. Now on to the 72nd and 32nd scale sheets!!
News on 3rd Party Friends of Twobobs!
Reminder to our customers that our remaining stock of Xtracrylics is discounted until they're gone. Not a whole lot left so get em while you can. The aircraft colors are pretty much out of stock so most of what's left is Luftwaffe and Armour colors.

All Xtractylics paint is discounted to $2.00 each while the larger size bottles of the various clearcoats and thinners are discounted to $3.00. We'll keep them discounted until they're all gone.

We've also decided to clear out our inventory of DACO decals. With our growing inventory slowly taking over all of our storage space here at Twobobs, we've made the business decision to not carry any more 3rd party sheets. Danny Coremans at DACO/ASTRA makes some great products as you all know. You can get these products through other distributors and retailers that he has throughout the world.

All DACO decals on our site are now 25% off until they're gone. Great deal!

Have a great week guys!
