Airline Hobby Supplies

A review of inventory, necessary evil at tax time, confirmed I am over-stocked on a few kits.  Some are no longer generally available, but either way, I have more than I really need to support sales.   So, you win!

To find them, you can search in a few ways.

First, and probably easiest, type “-csp” (without the quotes) in the search box top left on the home page.  You should find everything.  “CSP” means Clearance Sale Price”.

Alternatively, look down the left side of the home pags.  Number 6 is the “Clearance Table”, and under that relevant categories.

No limits, no conditions!   Add what ever you want to a shopping cart, and proceed through checkout.  A few customers have already picked a few items, most are limited quantities at the “CSP” price.

The long delayed Boeing 787-9 ‘Dreamliner’ kit by Zvezda has finally arrived!  I have contacted those of you who pre-ordered it, and have packed and mailed the kits.  I have three kits left for general sale.

Zvezda has announced two new kits:

• ZVE7019 Boeing 737-800
• ZVE7011 Ilyushin 76 (previously announced in 2015)

Zvezda has shown photographs of the fuselage sprues for the 737.  Looks good so far!

As more is learned, I will update this post.

With our recent restock shipment from BraZ, I received the following new items:

• BZ4096 GE90-94B Engines (2), B.777-200, -200ER, -300
• BZ4097 RR Trent 800 Engines (2), B.777-200, -200ER, -300
• BZ4098 PW4090 Engines (2), B.777-200, -200ER, -300
• BZ4099 Boeing 777-200ER, -300 Raked Wingtips
  

  PW4090

  

  RR Trent 800

  

  GE90-94B

The 777-200LR, -300ER and -200F are all exclusively powered by the GE90-110B1 or -115B engines, as supplied in the Zvezda / Revell 777-300 kit.  The engines listed above are intended to allow the modeller to build a -300 from the Zvezda kit, or a shortened -200 or -200ER.

All are available for immediate shipment.

In addition to restocking the 737 kits, I have also restocked all available Daco Skyline decals.  New releases are:

• SKY144-70 Tui Group Boeing 787-8
• SKY144-71 Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-300 / -400 / -500
• SKY144-72 TNT Boeing 737-300 / -400
• SKY144-16 Boeing 737NG Photo Etch Parts

  

  

  

  
  

Back in stock are:

• SKY144-40 Western Pacific ‘Stardust’ Boeing 737-300
• SKY144-57 Airbus A.318/A.319/A.320/A.321 Details
• SKY144-58 Boeing 737NG Details

My latest shipment from TwoSix includes a first batch of their 1/144 scale Shorts 330 kit.  It comes with a laser printed decal for Air Europe Express.  It is item TSM44-011AE in the estore.

With this shipment I received a final batch of the 1/144 scale Tristar kits – well, not the kits themselves (TS is sold out), but some extra decals and box labels so that I can “re-label” some of the kits I have left.  I have 8 kits left as of Feb 13th.  Search “TSM44-010” to find them.  Note, the “no decal” model is no longer available to order.

Finally, TwoSix has reprinted a few of their “sold out” silk decals:

• STS44-001 BEA ‘Speedjack’ HS.121 Tridents
• STS44-154 Korean Air Airbus A.380
• STS44-177 BOAC Boeing 747-100
• STS44-276 BOAC Super VC-10 (for the Roden kit)

The BEA and BOAC sheets are back in stock, Korean will be here in our next shipment, eta early March.

Daco Skyline produced a fresh run of their outstanding 1/144 scale Boeing 737-300, 737-400 and 737-500 kits, and re-released them with high quality decals (the earlier releases had no decal included).  These kits are highly detailed, and are the most accurate kits of these aircraft available.

• SKY144-03B Boeing 737-300, Western Pacific ‘The Simpsons’
• SKY144-04B Boeing 737-400, Brussels Airlines
• SKY144-05B Boeing 737-500, Air Baltic ‘Painted Ladies’

Each kit includes a highly detailed decal, however Daco Skyline’s etch brass detail frets are not included.   Also, the decal provided in the Air Baltic 737-500 is not quite as illustrated on the kit box.
