There is still a day or two backlog of orders that I'm trying to get caught up with, however. If you are unsure about your order, you can log into your account and check on the status.

There will be a 2nd print run due to return from the printers in November, along with The Modern SLUF Guide!! This is a very limited print run, so don't miss out a 2nd time. www.reidairpublishing.com Jake I have to ask: With the popularity of these books, why make such limited runs of the book? They sell out quickly and I was just on Amazon comparing prices and found a few of your out of print books going for over $400 used. To me, the person (or store) selling an out of print book for unbelievable mark up (granted that is Capitalism) to a wealthy or unlucky sap is a bloodsucker. The F/A 18E/F book would be of interest to me.....but not like that. I'm not criticizing anyone's business plan, but wouldn't running a few more copies be a money maker?

Sure it would, IF I could somehow predict how many to print. I printed 6000 Super Hornet Guides and they went extremely fast. I printed 3000 Kadena books four years ago and I have over half still here. With regards to the Scale Viper reprint, I wasn't sure how many people want it that missed out last time. Since it's a basic reprint, as opposed to a newer 2nd Edition such as the Eagle Guide and upcoming Hog Guide, there's really no reason for anyone who bought the first print to buy the reprint. That leaves me needing to find new customers that I didn't reach last time. It's a guessing game. I'd be very surprised if anyone is buying a $400 book. It's always a gamble. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Edited March 11, 2017 by jmel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only wish I could have grabbed the Super Hornet Guide after release, but I was on a modelling "hiatus". Any future re-print for it? As far as the $400+ book.

It'll be a new 2nd Edition like the Eagle and Hog Guides with new pictures and more/better coverage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet14 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I plan on getting one of The Scale Viper books once I start a F-16 but on the comment of out of stock books any chance of seeing another print of the F-4 phantom books? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wxltcol Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 This is such an awesome book! Pig does a great job. His Scale Hornet book is just as awesome. I have them both. Haven't seen him on a forum in quite a while now. Guess he's busy with flying, his aviation training company, and life in general. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
