New Product Announcements, week ending October 17th 2021

Posted on October 18, 2021 by russ@AHS

While FunDekals has, sadly, decided to withdraw from the airliner decal market, they continue to produce decals for military subjects and for general use. In this latter category, FunDekals has released four sets of stripe decals. The large sheet provides 5 stripes each of 9 widths, each stripe approximately 9 1/2″ long. The stripes range from approximately 1/64″ up to 1/4″ in width.

While I am on the subject of FunDekals, their airliner decals are all provided without instruction sheets, their intent being that you should download them from their web site, and print if desired. While this gives FunDekals the opportunity to improve and modify their instructions, it can be problematic for some customers who do not have color printers at their disposal. AHS always prints and includes a set of full color instructions with every FunDekals set, where available. If you have purchased a FunDekals sheet elsewhere, and need an instruction sheet, please contact me. I will be happy to mail a set to you for the cost of postage.

FunDekals has released the following stripe sets. FunDekal has not produced instructions, so they are not available or included.

DRAW Decal has released a new set for the MD-11 this week:

DW44-MD​11-013F DW20-MD11-0​13F Lufthansa Cargo (2018 cs) “Thank You MD11 Farewell” McDD MD-11F

New Product Announcements, week ending October 10th 2021

Posted on October 10, 2021 by russ@AHS

Our decal suppliers have been busy this week, with new releases by Vintage Flyer, 26Decals, and 8ADecs. DRAW Decal has been busy in his personal life this week, he should return with new releases next week. So… lets get started!

Vintage Flyer Decals has released 8 new sets for the 1/144 scale BAC 1-11 kits. There are versions designed to fit the Eastern Express kit and the Airfix kit (with ‘X’ suffixes on the product number).

26 Decals has released three more laser print decals for the Zvezda kit:

  • TS44-​1059 British Airways ‘Sydney 2000’ Boeing 757-200 (Zvezda kit)
  • TS44-1​​066 British Airways ‘Water Dreaming’ Boeing 757-200 (Zvezda kit)

8ADecs has released four additional sets for the Zvezda Boeing 757 kit featuring more of the British Airways ‘World Tails’ (aka ‘Utopia’ scheme). Note that all four require Rolls Royce RB211-535C engines that are not provided in the kit.

The Airfix Concorde kit has arrived. It’s most closely resembles the two prototype airframes, 001 F-WTSS and 002 G-BSST. While the kit provides BOAC markings, no Concorde was ever painted in this scheme.

AFX-051​70V BAC Sud Concorde, BOAC

We missed announcing this one by DRAW, released in September:
