BraZ Models has commissioned a decal with Jennings Heilig for the Continental Airlines Boeing 757-200 and -300 fleets in the pre-United Airlines merger scheme worn from 1991 until 2010. With the extra ‘United’ titles provided, the post merger scheme for the ex CO fleet can be modelled, Note, at the present time, the registrations and fleet numbers provided are only for the Continental fleet of Rolls Royce RB.211-535E powered airframes.
As part of our agreement with BraZ Models to purchase significant stock of this decal, AHS is applying a product number in the A4-3xx range that all our previous JH designed decals use, and we have produced our own instruction sheet that fits the style of the A4-3xx sets.

Druz Resins has released some new engine sets in 1/144 scale.
SD4-737-CFM56-3 CFM56-3 Engines (2) for Boeing 737-300/-400/-500 (Daco, Minicraft and EE kits)
26Decals has released updated sets in both their ‘Screen Printed’ STS44 and ‘Laser Printed’ TS44 ranges for the recently released CRM Boeing 727-200 kit.
26Decal has announced a new set for the Airbus A.321NEO kits. As a screen printed decal, it is currently at their printer and expected to be available in late October.
DRAW Decal has released a new set for the Korean Air Boeing 787-10, joining the set released previously for the 787-9.
26 Decal has released three more sets for the recently released Mark 1 BAC 1-11-500 kit, providing for three versions of the Dan Air London livery. The differences appear to be in the size and colour of the airline titles.
Druz Resins has released six new sets to improve Boeing 737NG and Boeing 767 kits.
Please be sure to order the correct set of engines for the kit your are building. The Revell Germany and Zvezda kits have different wing cross sections, and the pylons in each set are properly shaped to fit the respective kit. The decals are identical between kit options.
The winglets in the Revell Boeing 737-800 kit are particularly bad, so Druz has produced a set to improve the shape. These can be used on both the Revell and Zvezda kits.

These winglets can be used for both the Revell and Zvezda Boeing 767-300 kits.

We are pleased to announce that X-Scale has released their 1/144 scale Lockheed 188 Electra kit.
Our first shipment is en route from The Ukraine, and is expected here approximately September 15th. This first batch will include some kits with X-Scale’s American Airlines decal, the rest will be packaged with after market decals by Vintage Flyer Decal.
There will be a week or two delay making these decals available as VFD needs time to adjust their artwork to properly fit the X-Scale kit, and to print. Schemes will be announced at a later date, but can be expected to include all current VFD Electra sets, and hopefully with a few new ones. We hope these will be available early October. So… as we know you are anxious to see this long awaited new kit, we will ship the kits that are to contain VFD decals without them, and will then send the decals as soon as they are available.
To wet your appetite…. here are the sprue shots of the new kit. You will notice there are a few ‘extra’ parts that would apply to a P3 Orion…. stay tuned for more news on that front.
The images are not to scale or proportional.

AHS will be stocking a few kits with the XScale American Airlines decal:
We will also be offering the kit with your choice of Vintage Flyer Electra decal. As their artwork needs to be adjusted to fit the kit, there will be a short delay before these will be available.
The latest Druz144 resin engine sets are here. The PW1100G ‘Geared Turbofan’ engine has gained a certain amount of notoriety with the problems occuring with the in-service Airbus A.220 and A320 family aircraft. Separate sets are available designed to fit the Revell or Zvezda A.320NEO and A.321NEO kits.

26 Decal has added another 1/72 scale Embraer 110 Banderirante decal to their catalog.

DRAW Decal began the week re-releasing one of their earliest Boeing 777 sets. The new sheet is a 100% re-design of the original, updated with all their latest and most accurate details and stencils.
With apologies, we missed announcing this batch of Vintage Flyer decals when they were released. These are ‘Flight of Fancy’ schemes, either directly from aviation themed movies, or adding to the fictional fleets of such airlines.
