Zvezda has released a new kit in 1/144 scale for the Yakovlev YAK-40 (Nato name ‘Codling’). This was a small 3-engined jet transport produced in the 70’s and 80’s bringing jet service to shorter routes and smaller markets in Russia and beyond. The decal included in the kit provides markings for Aeroflot and Rossiya. I have a limited number in stock.

8ADecs has released a couple of new decals for this kit…. see later in this announcement for details.

Also back in stock from Zvezda is the Airbus A.320NEO with SAS markings.

My first batch of 26Decals released for the X-SCale DC-8 kit have arrived, and are available to order with the kit. Quantities available are, however, limited.

AHK4-DC8-30 with 26 Decal DC-8-30 kit with your choice of.Pomair, Capitol Airlines (2 schemes), Overseas National Airlines, TAE, Pan American, Braniff International, Air Canada, Zambia Airways, VARIG or Alitalia.

DRAW Decal has released a series of decals for the Boeing 757-300 in Condor’s colourful new scheme. Greg commented that while he would have liked to include the coloured bands with the decal, it simply isn’t practical to have done so. The curves are, to say the least, very, very difficult to design in 2 dimensions that would fit correctly and look right on a three dimensional model with complex curves.
