What's New This Week!

Sorry for the late newsletter this week guys. I've been under the weather for the last few days and actually stayed home from work today as I try to recover. Being sick sucks...

New Hot Babe of the Week is up. Another jet this week from VFA-125. This is their Green Hornet jet and is the subject of a forthcoming sheet from us. Thanks to Kelly Voyles for the pics!

We continue with the Clearance Sale on our remaining stock of MAW and Zotz Decals. 25% off until they're gone fellas! Some sheets have already sold out!

OK folks, more Buckeye news!! Pics below of the production tooling and a couple of pics of sprue shots! We continue to inch along with the release of this kit and sitting here right now, I'm pretty confident that this kit will be out by Christmas. A long way from August I know and again I apologize; doing the best we can over here! I'm completely satisfied with the way the test shots and tooling are looking however! Good stuff!! br>

Decals In Work!

K fellas, hook it up! Another round of releases are ready to go to the printers!

Since the Saudi Eagle markings are pretty generic, I ended up with a lot of left over real estate on that sheet. Dug around the archives and realized that we've never released the Operation Anaconda Strike Eagle markings in 72nd scale. One of the most historically important set of markings from the current war on terror so this release is well warranted.

The Press to Test Viper sheet above features the F-16D Block 50 that's this week's Hot Babe as well as a couple of snazzy orange/white test birds. We've done the orange/white's previously but felt the need to redo them for a couple of reasons. These are both single seaters (never been done) and I felt it important to capture an Ex-Paki jet before everyone forgets about this chapter in AFFTC history.

84-307 is a Block 25 that was previously a Vermont ANG aircraft and 92-0407 is a former Paki Block 15 OCU aircraft. With all the various versions of Viper kits out there, we went ahead an put both the Tamiya and Hasegawa sized IFR and ECS markings on the sheet.

Below are three more sheet images of sheet 48-208 F-100C Skyblazers. This guy is almost done and I'll need a fourth sheet to finish it off but you can see how it's shaping up. Back when I was statioined at Wright Patterson AFB in 1993, I did a lot of research on the Skyblazers waiting for someone to release a C model Hun. With the Trumpeter release, I finally have a reason to leverage all the references as well as the help of a handful of other folks against this important subject! This one will be a pricey one but we'll try to keep the price down to an affordable level. Multiple options of multiple years with all the little tweaks between the jets will be captured on this sheet. The fourth sheet will capture the 1961-62 jets with their different nose markings etc.
