Next Saturday May 21st, look for us at ScaleFest 2011 in Mesquite, Texas (Dallas area). We will be bringing a large group of decals with us, except none in 1:200 scale. If you are going to the show and have something specific you would like us to bring, please let me know as soon as possible so we can bring it along. As always, you can see the list of shows we are attending by checking the Show Schedule page on this site.

US Navy Aviation Centennial Book
Here is the perfect companion to our T-45C sets, the first book illustrating the US Navy’s fleet of Centennial aircraft. The special “retro” Centennial schemes were revealed to the public at the Centennial of Naval Aviation Kick Off Air Show at NAS North Island on February 12, 2011, and this book documents all of them at the show.
