We also received some more Equipage wheel sets. Although the company has ceased production, these sets were outsourced to Heliborne for retooling and manufacture. The new resin wheel hubs have even finer detail than the original sets and the tires are now made out of silicon. All this means that there has been a hefty price increase, unfortunately. Among the popular sets back in stock are:
1/72: Su-27/30, An-24/6/30, An-26 late, Tu-16K, MiG-21F-13, Su-30MK/33/35/37/Berkut, Mi-8/17, Mi-24, Su-15T/TM, Il-28/H-5

We're back from a great Mosquitocon Show last week. Many thanks as ever to Big Bill and all the IPMS Jersey Boys for their great hospitality!
We have lots of new stuff to announce. First of all, Anton Pavlov's excellent MiG-29 9-12 book is now on general sale:
The MiG-29 Fighter in Frontline Service - History, Markings and Color Scheme
(MIG291: $75)
This superb newly published 224-page Russian-language book charts the service history of the MiG-29 9-12 (Fulcrum A) in the USSR, Russia and other CIS countries. It is profusely illustrated with many hitherto unpublished photos of the 9-12 in VVS service, many coming from the archives of MiG-29 pilots themselves, and including many new details of special regimental markings in the 1980s and 90s. The book also contains no less than 51 pages of 4C profiles and top-views. It took MiG-29 guru Anton Pavlov and his co-author Sergey Voylokov two years to complete the book, and the TLC expended on the book really shows. The 1,000 print run is selling fast in Russia and we have been very lucky to obtain a shipment. This book will not be around forever...
Also now in stock from Aerolit:
(Aerolit 007: $28) 'Celestial Warriors - Air Accidents and Pilots' Graves
of the Soviet Forces in Germany'
Hardback, 108 pages, German text, 100 photos and illustrations. "The files related air accidents of the GSFG during the Cold War gather dust somewhere in Russian State archives, and regrettably no Russian historian has yet seen fit research this topic. 'Celestial Warriors' documents for the first time an oppressive legacy left behind by the Soviet Armed Forces on the former territory of the GDR. Eyewitnesses and Historians were interviewed, newspaper reports researched and Graves and memorials examined. "Celestial Warriors' presents the results of this extensive research in concise form. While many individual stories have yet to be uncovered, some facts have become clear. During the Cold War the Soviet Armed Forces suffered a considerable number of aerial catastrophes. Were theses accidents the result of poor training, human error or technological failings? Propaganda and obfuscation have made the truth even harder to find. This book's listing of catastrophes together with the names of those involved finally give the victims a human face. Don't forget them! 'Celestial Warriors' sheds light on a dark chapter of Soviet Russian history on German soil."
Finally back in stock:
(AEROLIT 005:
$65) .'Red
Fields - Russian Military Airfields in Germany 1945 -1994'
Soft cover, 300 pages, 575 photos and illustrations. German text.

This new set includes marking options for five Russian Su-27UBs, one Su-30 and four Kazakh Flankers (three UBs and one bonus single-seater). Included among the Russian UBs are three Arctic Flankers, appearing for the first time in 1/32 scale.

We have two new book releases in from AirDoc:
We're back, and are unpacking a load of new goodies for you!
We have secured a very rare and extensive restock from Whirlybird, featuring a large number of new 1/72 scale helicopter accessories:
We have a similarly large restock, with a number of new releases from FAA Models, Alleycat and Alleycat Decals.
Particularly impressive are the 1/72 scale Airfix Nimrod enhancement sets and the full 1/48 scale Wellington IIC conversion kit, complete with a full Microscale-produced decal sheet.

An-12 (product code 144RA08: $79)
Tu-154B (product code 144RA07: $79)
This exquisitely molded resin kit may be a lot more expensive than the injection-molded Zvezda model of the later M variant, but this is the only game in town for the Tu-154B-1 and B-2. The spectacular decal sheet covers four Tu-154B-2s: Aeroflot (USSR - Official Olympic Carrier Moscow 1980), Aeroflot (Russia), Dalavia (Khabarovsk, Russian Far East) and Malev Hungarian Airlines.
We also received our last Equipage shipment. As previously announced, the owners of Equipage have decided to move on and have ceased production for an indefinite period. We were able to secure their final stocks of three highly popular 1/72 scale sets; MiG-25, Tu-22 and Tu-22m3. The tires have been cast in silicon rather rubber, which adds much to the detail of the sets, but this has also forced a major price rise. If you really want some of these fine wheel sets, act now.
We received a restock shipment from NeOmega today, which included two new items:
New in from Hobby Boss is the new 1/48 scale MiG-17F kit:
HB 80334 MiG-17F Fresco C ($32.99)
Although the detail in this new-tool 1/48 scale kit very nice for the price, the cockpit could benefit from the addition of a NeOmega KK-2 ejection seat...
Also coming soon for the MiG-17 are 1/48 scale decals from Print Scale.
We have no less than eight new decal sheets in from Ukraine's Print Scale studio in both 1/72 and 1/48 scales.
We've finally caught up with the bulk of our heavy load of Amonster kit shipments. We are awaiting one more delivery of V-12 kits next week to complete all orders placed with us. There will now be no further Amodel deliveries of new releases until October as the Polish distributor has gone on vacation. New in stock from Amodel since the Nationals:
We are now turning our attention to updating the Web site with a number of new product releases. We launched a couple of new resin lines at the US Nationals, to wit:
New on the decal front is:
We have also listed a number of new releases from Ukrainian decal producer Print Scale.
We will also be selling two new kit lines:
AMG 48001 Polikarpov
I-153 'Chaika' (US$45)
Hobby Boss (select kits only)
HBO 87221 Mil 'Mi-8T' (US$24.99)
The kit is not actually a Mi-8T, it's a Mi-8MT late version. As we speak, our friends at Heliborne are working on a number of upgrade sets for this kit. The good news is that HB is the first manufacturer to get the cockpit glazing correct on a 1/72 scale Mi-8.
HBO
87220 Mil Mi-24V (US$24.99)
Another impressive job by Hobby Boss. Yet again, expect to see some upgrade parts for this kit from Heliborne. By the way the Linden Hill Resin Mi-24RKhR parts will fit the kits (as will the Italeri/Zvezda canopy).
We also have a number of new decal sheets in from Lift Here!.
In 1/48 scale, how about some interesting alternative marking options for your Trumpeter or Revell/Monogram C-47s:
'IRAQI FIGHTERS - 1953-2003: Camouflage & Markings'
(HPA 001: $49.90)
Authors: Brig.
Gen. Ahmad SADIK & Tom COOPER
Publisher Harpia Publishing
Summary:
This book provides an exclusive insight into the
service history of 13 fighter jet types - from Vampires and Hunters to
MiG-29s and Su-24s -
which served with Royal Iraqi Air Force (RIrAF) and
Iraqi Air Force (IrAF) between 1953 and 2003.
Serious investigative research, including exclusive primary evidence gathered by
the authors both inside
and outside Iraq, has generated a level of
detail and color of unmatched degree in any previous publications about
any Arab air force.
The result is a detailed history not only of RIrAF and
IrAF markings, serials and camouflage patterns, but also the history of every
Iraqi fighter
squadron, their equipment over the time period in question,
as well as unit and various special insignias.
Richly illustrated with photographs and artwork, the book provides details about
a number of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, many put
to the ultimate test only by the Iraqi air force. A list of original names for
air bases used by IrAF is also included.
* 156 pages
* 44 black & white photos
* 96 color photos
* 67 artworks
* size 20 x 28 cm
* softcover

Two major dilemmas at Linden Hill Towers this evening. We're running low on Halloween 'treats' (we got wiped out by what looked like the miniature Munsters early on), and we have no time to post all the new product we have in one go. We have some great new Yak decals and books from Ukraine.
And a PVD restock. We'll catalog what we have (including any new releases) over the weekend.
Here's our first update. We welcome an excellent new Russian kit manufacturer, RusAir. Click on the link for more information.

HCO 48007 Kamov Ka-50
'Hokum' cockpit set ($29.50)

Moscow's Aviatech, previously known for their decal sheets, have now produced their first full kit. The 1/48 scale kit of the Yak-18T cabin monoplane is exquisitely cast in resin. It was produced in cooperation with such luminaries of the Russian modeling scene as NeOmega, VES and Masterclub. The decal sheet was produced by Begemot and an Equipage wheel set is included. You can find more information on this kit on our new Aviatech page.
A new line of periodicals for Linden Hill. Fliegerrevue Extra (FRX) is, to all extents and purposes, the German-language analog of International Air Power Review. As with IAPR, FRX is a quarterly journal, profusely illustrated with exclusive photographs and profiles, covering historical and modern aviation; both military and civil. What sets FRX apart is the preponderance of features on subjects close to the bailiwick of Linden Hill! Some of FRX's editorial team clearly have their roots in the old GDR and each issue contains a large proportion of articles related to the GDR, USSR, Russia and related Cold War subjects. All issues listed below are highly recommended.
VES's 1/72 scale La-5 kit comes bagged and with a small Travers decal sheet. We were only able to acquire 10 kits. Once they're gone, that's it. Price per kit is $10.00
We are delighted to be cooperating with the Ukrainian Air Force Command and Aviastyle, the official heraldic laboratory of the Air Force of Ukraine in offering all their official patches and pennants. Please visit our new Ukrainian Air Force page.
