jmel Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Is anyone still looking for a copy of The Modern Eagle Guide? I was just told that F-4DAble Models in Malaysia still has a few copies remaining in stock. Better hurry, though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I checked with him this week. He didn't actually have any but he was looking at a shop where he consigns them. They may have had one. They do have the Scale Viper books available. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rambler Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Are you going to reprint this one anytime soon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I definitely will reprint it at some point, but it may be another year or two. It doesn't seem to be as sorely missed as the Hog Guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'll definately be getting one when it comes out, as I missed the first one. I did manage to score a Hog guide in a trade though, so I'm all set there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfgun33 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Me too!! I missed out on the first one!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Sadly, the Eagle Guide may be another year or two before it's reprinted. There doesn't seem to be a huge demand for a reprint, and there are other aircraft that need covered first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'll take one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) im curious has to how much work a reprint implies? since the book is all done isint it just a resend to the printers and wait for the result? A simple reprint implies what you've written, plus the wheelbarrow load of cash to pay for it. However, when the 2nd Edition is released, it will not be a reprint of the 1st Edition. It'll be a much bigger, better book, with all new photos and more/better coverage of the export jets. I have it done and ready, but I don't know when it may be sent to the printers. As I've said, there just doesn't seem to be much of a demand for it. I appreciate the guys in this thread who have asked for it, but given the enormous costs of printing, I need to wait until I can expect to move a substantial number of copies before I can go through with it.

metroman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Jake - What about offering a digital/PDF version? could include a DVD version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Jake - What about offering a digital/PDF version? could include a DVD version? I get asked that from time to time, and I'm afraid the answer is no. I have a hard enough time keeping the pirated and other illegal copies at bay, and offering a digital version would only make it harder. Sorry. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jake i'd buy it. ( a second edition ) i was able to get the last copy that F-4DAble Models in Malaysia had for the f-15. it's an awesome book!

Siamese11 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Jake, Will be interested in the Eagle book along with the Hog book. I missed both of those when they were out. I will have to wait for the next edition of the Eagle book before I start my 1/32 F-15C unless someone out there has a copy for sale. Jake keep up the good work on the books.

jmel Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Dan, cabret, thanks. I'm eager to put out the 2nd Edition. I just don't know when that will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghatherly Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hi Jake, My vote is for the Eagle second edition. I will step up for several copies!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi Jake, My vote is for the Eagle second edition. I will step up for several copies!!! Ha! What in the world do you need several copies for?? :) Thanks, though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmk0210 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Just curious, what with the 2nd edition add? I have the 1st addition and it is very good. Off hand, I can't think of anything it's missing except the latest radar updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Mostly updated pics for the recent export versions (F-15K, SG, etc.). Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Macbain Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I too am looking for a copy of the Eagle Guide. If it anything like either of the F-16 guides then I am sure it will be everything I need. Given the popularity, is it worth starting a poll in this thread to gauge interest, and then possibly make a run to the printers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Given the popularity, is it worth starting a poll in this thread to gauge interest, and then possibly make a run to the printers? We did a poll a few months ago, and there really isn't that much interest, overall, in the Eagle's reprint. I'd love to do one, though, because I have so much new material to toss in there. http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=246170 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I for one think -everything- should be shoved aside for the USN/USMC Phantom book you tantalized us about awhile back, though the Eagle 2.0 book should be right on it's heels Hornets? Seriously any product you put out is dang well received, 'good on ya' for all your hard work sir! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
