blunce Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Gots lots of reference material. Well if that's a hint, I can't wait, that will be AWESOME! (if it's what I think it is) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 For those that don't know, what is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 For those that don't know, what is it? Details in about three weeks. I need to make sure everything comes together the way I hope, and then I'll know for sure. I really shouldn't have mentioned anything yet, but I'm pretty excited about receiving the permission to shoot this aircraft type in gory model-geek detail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deigs Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I voted 2nd Ed A-10. But I would buy all 3 of these in a heartbeat. And also that Apache book you're writing for me would be lovely as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CraigSargent Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Any chance of an AV-8B or F-35 guide? The AV-8B never gets any love in publication form (there is not a single available, good walkaround/usage book in printed format), and the F-35 while still maturing, is not covered at all yet, obviously. But I did vote... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not a chance for the F-35. I've been to Eglin to shoot the jets earlier this year, but you can imagine the restrictions on what I was allowed to shoot and what I was forbidden to shoot. The Harrier absolutely will be done in 2013. It will cover the AV-8B (all versions), TAV-8B, and GR.9. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been to Eglin to shoot the jets earlier this year, but you can imagine the restrictions on what I was allowed to shoot and what I was forbidden to shoot. Yeah, figured as much. Guessing that is going to be an issue for the resin companies too, might not see a good cockpit (or many other bits for that matter) for the Kittyhawk kit for some time. Any chance you have external pics you can share - Looking for a really good pic of the APU exhaust area which is missing from the kit. The Harrier absolutely will be done in 2013.

Any chance you have external pics you can share - Looking for a really good pic of the APU exhaust area which is missing from the kit.I'll check, but I didn't really do any close-up walkaround type of pics, with a few exceptions. Outstanding - that I would even pre-order. Nah, it'll be a while still. I have done all the photoshoots, but have yet to do any of the actual book design and layouts. Next year, though, for sure. It's been a jet I've been very interested in doing for a few years now, and finally shot the last few items I needed just last month. Thanks for the interest!!

chomper Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'd love to see an A-6/EA-6B book too. -Dave So would I. Along with books on the Flanker, Jaguar, Tornado. I know you've said no to the last three, but a fellow can hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
