Happy New Year everyone!!! At this time, Reid Air Publications is closed. All the links on the webstore have been permanently turned off. Thank you, each and every one of you, for the insane support dating back 17 years. I never imagined this tiny little hobby would have grown to what it did. Unfortunately, its growth is what led me to discontinue. I just can't keep up any longer. It's been a wild ride. I had so much fun. I'm home after a two-week long vacation. I will ship everyone's order, but PLEASE understand that it will take time. I'll get every last order out as quickly as

I ordered Floyd’s stuff too.

Hey Chris. Or anyone else. Is there any 1/35 Kiowa Warrior stuff still available anywhere? Or maybe someone has some parts they don’t plan to use? thanks!!

It has been a phenomenal 17 years, but it is time to move on from Reid Air Publications. I have another business I run in Cincinnati that demands my full attention. I don’t have time to produce books or decals anymore and I don’t have time to fulfill orders quickly anymore. I will continue the business as-is through the end of the year, but effective January 1, the doors will be closing. In the meantime, order stuff per usual but expect longer than typical lag time to receive your order in the mail. Thank you everyone for helping to make

Awesome!!!!

This is my favorite thread. Outstanding work!! Jake

Wow! Outstanding work!! Jake

These are awesome. I'd love to see some USAF F-4 pilots for the 60s through the '90s!!! Jake

i have a lot of it drawn, but there is so much to choose from. ANG, PACAF, USAFE, TAC. Nose art, mission markings, zaps. Do i keep it USAF or add ROKAF, JASDF, HAF, etc? I also want to wait a bit to see the Z-M RF-4 kit so i can size the artwork appropriately. Jake

It was a hard line. Jake

Nice work! Thanks for using my decals! Jake

Interesting. What did i miss? Anything good?

What is your name and order number? I'll take a look and see what happened. Jake

I LOVE it!! Thanks for using my decals. Jake

You are ABSOLUTELY correct. Thank you for setting me straight! The DMAS was part of the upgrade in the mid 1980s. Jake

All F-4Gs had DMAS incorporated during their 'sex change' from E to G. the only difference from 'early' to 'late' is the APR-38 to APR-47 computer system(s), none of which is going to be visible in the cockpit, aside from some labeling of switches. Jake

I have a sheet drawn up with a lot of interesting options. I will work it into the queue as soon as i can.

Probably not, to be honest. It wasn't a great seller. Sorry Jake

Differences? Yes. Major? Not really. As with anything else, it depends on what your threshold for accuracy is. There's a few books (The Modern Viper Guide, for example) that has pics of all the various cockpit layouts. As you mention, the HUD frame and glass is the biggest difference, along with some wire bundles that lead up aft of the ejection seat. Most of the rest won't be visible, even in 1/32. Jake

The Block 40 community began carrying HTS as early as 2015 when i first visited Osan and Kunsan. I later found them in the ANG Block 40/42 community. One of the goals of CCIP 20 years ago was to bring the 40/42/50/52 Viper community to the same standard/capabilities. Jake

Great job!! Speed Hunter Graphics decals? Jake

No, the two-tone modern gray camo wasn't applied until after Desert storm. Jake

Combat Weasels is back and shipping

updated again. Lots more damaged copies to get rid, including several Modern Eagle Guides which is sold out otherwise.
