jmel Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) The Modern SLUF Guide is at the printers. I expect it to become available by late November. This book, which has taken WAY longer than I ever imagined, is 184 pages long with nearly 1,000 full-color images of every inch of the A-7. Typical of any book in the Modern Guide series, it covers the cockpits, radar, landing gear, engine, ordnance, and all facets of the airframe with heavy emphasis on open panels and maintenance photos for the model builders. US Navy, USAF, and Greek jets are covered, including A-7C, A-7D, A-7E, A-7H, TA-7C, and A-7K. Retail will be $39.95 and will be available for purchase directly from the Reid Air Publications webstore. http://www.reidairpublishing.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=RAP015 The website is now accepting pre-orders!

Chuck I had 3 sample copies that the printer sent me to check quality prior to them shipping the entire bulk batch to me. I shipped those 3 sample copies. The bulk shipment should arrive to me on Monday, and I'll start shipping immediately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What are your thoughts? In addition to the fact it's easier to leave open on the desk or workbench, this one generally seems more approachable. This struck (no pun intended) me immediately upon opening the package. When I opened it, instead of being blasted with pictures and info, it drew me in. Your books are just packed with stuff. This seems to make it more easily digestible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otis252 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I personally like vertical, simply for shelving with other books. Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tobiK Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi Jake, soon it will be black friday again. I just remember you made special offers for that occasion in the past. Any plans for doing that again? (Because I have plans for buying then again...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Jake, Awesome news mate! It's been a long time coming and I'm sure it will be worth the wait! Just ordered mine. I can finally crack out the big SLUF with all the Zacto parts! Thanks buddy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k5ikl Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Just ordered mine too. Looking forward to it Jake. Have a great Thanksgiving. Cheers, Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

otis252 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Got mine yesterday. Absolutely great, Jake's really moved the bar on research book. My one and only thing I'd like to see changed for future books is that they are printed "vertically", just for storage with other books on the shelve. A small thing, really a great book.
