Unfortunately all the Whirlybird S-61N conversion kits have sold out. we should be getting a few more in the next couple of weeks.
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.
Due in on Monday from Zvezda:
1/72 Mil Mi-26 'Halo' kit (Product code: ZVEZ 7270. $42)
Please note that shipping and handling for this kit is 'at cost', according to standard USPS postage rates. It comes in a big box!
New in stock from Pisco Models:
Saab 37 Viggen corrected nose cone for the 1/48 scale Esci/Airfix kit (PS 48003: $9.99)
Also back in stock from the same source are the superlative 1/48 scale nose cones for the Su-27 and MiG-29.

TSM 2270 1/32 scale Su-27UB Flanker ($149)
We have two excellent new 1/144 scale kits in from RusAir. Click on the link to your left for more information about the kits.
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

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.

We have received a major Begemot restock. The good news is that there are new releases in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scales. The bad news is that, due to Russia's current energy superpower status, the Russian ruble has appreciated tremendously against the US dollar. This has necessitated a small price increase on some of the older sheets.
Su-27 Demo Flankers in 1/72 or 1/48 scale
"43 Russian
marking variations of Su-27, Su-27UB, Su-27PD,
Su-27SKM, Su-27KUB, Su-27M(Su-35), Su-30, Su-30MKK, Su-30MKI, Su-30KI, Su-35UB,

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.
