The two United 757 sheets come in two versions. A “-A” version where the tail decal is designed to fit the Authentic Airliners 757 resin kit, or the Minicraft kit with a BraZ fin. The “-M” version is for the unmodified, out-of-the-box Minicraft kit.
I was recently sent an email with an image of a page from Zvezda’s 2021 catalog. It shows 5 new airliner kits…. one I know will be in high demand.
I suspect the An.225 will be licensed releases of the recent Revell Germany kit…. but then perhaps not. After all, Zvezda did produce their own 747-8I mould.
The Airbus narrowbodies while duplicating recent Revell releases, are most likely new moulds.
The A.350 is undoubtedly a new fuselage and landing gear moulds paired with their existing wing, tail, engine moulds from their previously released A.350-1000. Will be interesting to see if they modify the wings, as they are the same span, but 40cm less chord, giving an area 22 square meters smaller.
As more details become available, I will post news here, and will add the kits to my estore as release dates get a little closer. Now, how many 757’s am I going to be building??
Update July 3rd 2021:
The Airbus A.321 is in stock, and the Boeing 757-200 is expected shortly. Please click the item number for a direct link to our estore where you can place your order. Thanks!
We have new decal releases this week from 26 Decals and from DRAW decals.
26 Decals has now released their Fred Olsen Douglas DC-6A decal in 1/72 scale, joining their previously released 1/144 scale sheet. This was followed by a Hawker Siddely 748 decal for the Mark 1 kit, and a decal for Pacific Southwest Airlines and their Bae 146-200 fleet.
Scale Aircraft Composites (SAC) has released a set of white metal landing gear for the Revell A.320NEO and A.321NEO kits. We can now install gear on the A.320NEO!

First up, I have now received two shipments from 26Decals in the last 4 weeks, both containing significant re-stocks of their laser printed decals. Another is on its way.
I am updating all my 26Decals laser decals to show them as available again and to update pricing, as 26 has implemented a one pound price increase to almost all sets partially offset by a better US$ to pound exchange rate.
I am also updating product numbers for all the 1/144 scale laser decals. Recently 26 celebrated going through the ‘1,000’ mark, which was causing weird issues with sorting by product number. So, one by one, I am updating all the 1/144 sheets to a 4 digit number (I’m hoping I’ll never have to repeat this for the rest of the scales!).
So, for example, sheet TS44-899 (Braniff International DC-8) is now TS44-0899. I am adding both my old code (TS44-899) and 26’s code (144-899 for this sheet) in the “Description” field, which should help locate the decal if using the “Search” function. So far I’ve done all sheets from TS44-0650 (aka TS44-650 or 144-650) up, the rest I will continue to work on as time permits. So if there is a sheet you want, that my site won’t allow you to order, please email and I’ll fix the problem asap. With a few exceptions, all laser sheets are available (some have been discontinued for technical reasons).
On with this week’s new releases:
DRAW Decal has released the following new and updated decals:
With the return of the 26Decals laser series, the following new laser decals have been released and are available to order.
Additionally, all older sets can also be ordered – most are in stock, but some I have still not “unblocked” from ordering. So, if there is a 26decal sheet you need, and my site won’t let you order it, please send me an email and I’ll fix it for you. Unblocking, as changing the 1/144 scale laser series to a 4 digit product code is a manual, and very time consuming process. I try to do some every day, but still with more than 800 to work through, it is going to take a while.
DRAW Decal is reorganising their Boeing 747 “Windows and Details” decals (sheet 747-018) adding new elements to the decals, and to more closely align with specific 747 versions. Additional releases are planned for other 747 versions.
For the 747-100 and -200B, the decal is available in 5 scales.
DW44-747-018A Boeing 747-100 / -200 Windows, Door & Details
DW20-747-018A Boeing 747-100 / -200 Windows, Door & Details
DW72-747-018 Boeing 747-100 / -200 Windows, Door & Details
DW10-747-018 Boeing 747-100 / -200 Windows, Door & Details
DW25-747-018 Boeing 747-100 / -200 Windows, Door & Details
The decals for the 747-300 and 400 (and 200SUD) are available in 1/144 and 1/200 scales.
