jmel Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 They should start arriving more now, guys. I got a bit backed up, and still am, but I should be caught up by the end of today. I am quite surprised at the response to this book. I didn't expect it to do so well, honestly.

Denis You'll be fine. A book print run usually lasts about 2 or 3 years, sometimes more. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scapilot Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I did finally receive mine. Looks great. Finally get to dive back into my Academy 32n'd scale A+ kit. This was just what I was needing. Amazing how much time you save scouring Google for a half decent picture on something you're looking for. Anything that helps reduce build time is a great asset in my eyes. The Super Hornet guide has been monumental on the current build I'm on, and Hornets sell exrememly well for me, so I see building a lot of them in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EX_Birdgunner Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Whoo-hoo!!!! A package arrived today with The Modern Hornet Guide AND The Modern Super Hornet Guide, both of which were birthday gifts from my Wife! I have only just scratched the surface of all the detail that is in these books. Well done Jake. I only have one small issue though. The front and back cover of the Super Hornet Guide has parts of the lamination lifting up. Don''t know the cause but I will just put some clear tape over there to prevent further lifting. Just thought Jake would like to know about it. Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 The front and back cover of the Super Hornet Guide has parts of the lamination lifting up. :explode: I've been fighting the printing company over this. You seem to be one of the unlucky few who have gotten one of these. So far, I've heard of this happening to about 35 books. It appears to be a defect. I'm happy to send you a replacement copy if you'd like. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Jake, two days ago I've bought my The Modern Hornet Guide copy from my abitual bookshop here in Rome and ,wow,another must to have book!!! Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The book is superb despite any typo error could exist, my only rammerico, as I told you in the past, they did not find any F-15 and A-10 book copies ... Gianni.

loki Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just ordered mine from Helion in the UK. At last! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Jake a little addition in regards to the Fat pylon, the back end has an antenna as well: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/colink/Moose%20Jaw%202008/P7150007.jpg the (Do) Not Paint area in the above pic. The grounding point was moved lower on the fat pylons as compared to the normal pylons and the fat pylon had a hole on the bottom, check this pic out: CF-18 to see the differences. Also note the back end is a bit larger than on regular pylons. Jari Edited May 15, 2013 by Finn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longmc Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Now that things have quieted down a bit and I can start modeling again, I finally got around to ordering this book. It's another superb offering from Jake. Within the first 5 minutes of looking it over, I probably learned 10 new things about the hornet. great job, Jake! Keep them coming! We still need the EF-2000 Eurofighter covered as well as the F-22!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
