A new shipment of Specialty Press books is on the way with a selection of titles which are new, restocks or titles stocked in a local hobby shop for the first time:

Jason, any further info on the Building and Detailing Scale Model Cars books???

Any hint on the expected price? I'm interested to get myself a copy. :D

Edited: Make that two copies.. one for Sky-san... :D

building and detailing perghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i would die for that book :o

druid,

That book's US retail is US$24.95

My estimate is that it will retail locally for RM95 before discount.

did I make a mistake at seing that the book has 300 pages? oh my goddddddddddddd this is a must :lol:

Noted, in that case put me up for two copies please... (if it is possible lah). :D

yes yes me and broder druid pweeeaaassseeeeee lol :lol:

Can do!

You will have to pick it up from HHQ, OK?

It took me a while to realise there may be demand for this book. So, I hope you guys understand that I have only brought in 3 of this title this time around.

Not a problem Jason... will pick it up from HHQ when it arrives there.

Thank you (on behalf of sky_tokyodrifter as well :D )

hehe luckyyyyyyyyyy

1 for me and 1 for broder druid. Broder druid, dont forget to put a big name tag on the book that says "this is for sky" :P

Jason, any clues on the Sukhoi Russian Airpower?? would love to have a look of it.. any details of the books?? how many pages, photos stuff like that.

edited:

i browse their website and found only this book
are they the same??? wow it;s retail at $59.90

Imran, nanti pinjam tau buku keta tu...

Sil,

Nope, not the same book.

Russian Air Power is this one.

Those who bought it when it first came in the last shipment in June, say it is a very good book.

Don't ask me why the cover is different from the one I posted. ^_^

The one posted is the actual cover.

As for Su-27 book you linked to, I tried ordering it for the previous order received in June, but it is temporarily out of stock (as shown in the Specialty Press website).

Jason,

Can reserve a copy for me?

wahahhahaha broder YGTan, I think there is one copy left better grab it because broder jason only brought in 3 books. That book is like the holy grail for car builders :lol:

Broder jason i think u better order more. We need books like this for refference. Any more books like this available? :lol:

nasib baik i sapu already awal awal

Jason, is the price the same as what u quoted above??

OK, you got the last copy.

Have to pick up from HHQ. I'll make an announcement when it comes in.

Thanks

Sil,

Are you referring to the Russian Air Power book?

just to share...

the Famous Russian Aircraft - MIG-21 is one thick book..

here is the review for it.. a whopping 700 plus pages...

Review

just to share..

kuman

Thanks for sharing, kuman.

I would never have been able to find this review.

Holding a full-time day job and running modelling supplies on the side here & there is pretty taxing work.

And what good would the book be to you then? ^_^ :lol:

Can I also join the list for the "Building and Detailing Scale Model Cars" book too? very interesting indeed ...

abg bear hehe :P learn to build more crazier stuff I think? wahahahah lol. All I can say is YUM YUMMMMMM :lol:

Jason,

err...kinda confused my self again.... so here i go again
1. the price for the book that you posted in the first posting


but later i think i might be interested more in the book that was out of stock...

2. so how much will this cost (if they are back)??


tq

sorry, SAC33.

All stock of the "Building and Detailing Scale Model Cars" book are now booked, right here on this very thread.

I'll see about getting more stock with the next shipment.

No Problem F4Dable...can wait for next shipment,

just that there are all these "handed down" models from that 595 sales, I think its time to get a book on how to build automobiles lah before getting any cars/trucks/motorcycles... ;)

Sil,

Russian Air Power - the US retail is USD 63.95. I estmate it will cost around RM245.

The Su-27 book - US retail is USD 59.90.

I would hesitate to say how much it will cost when it does come back in stock, 'cos I can't predict what the FOREX will be then.

As an aside:

Generally, you can see that the distributor (me) has absorbed most of the cost of air-freighting the books in from the US.

There is only a small mark up from the US retail price since we have to use a fixed FOREX rate to maintain price stability from shipment to shipment.

oh wow...probably the most expensive book i ever bought (err besides the Perry's Handbook of Chemical Engineering and Manual for Industrial Ventilation.. :lol: )

so Jason, i need ur advice, if i only interested for the su-27 family only, which book suit me well?? I just need info and details on the family's variants

thanks

Sil,

The Su-27 book will do very nicely for you.

Be advised that while it is an excellent reference, it is not a modeller oriented book.

What I mean is that while there are photos, they are not walk around shots.

Not to be a wet towel, but according to Specialty Press' web page:

8-1/2 x 11"
128 pgs.
More than 300 color photos.
Sftbd.

I don't want there to be any false expectations.

128 pages is fine with me bro for that price. For that price, 300 pages would be like a super bonus hehe, good thing didn't have high expectation.

MR JASON
Reserve for me 'Building and Detailing Scale Model Cars'..PM me when its landing @ HHQ :P

snakeripper,

Each copy of this book that is coming in has already been reserved by others on this forum.

If you don't mind, I will put you down for the next order.

Thanks for your interest.

duhhh,,,lambat lagi
ok,reserve a copy for me..TQ

Well Join the "wait for the How to build car" club ... :P :P :P

News flash!

The shipment has arrived, and the books will be making their way to Hobby HQ later part of today.

Oh yeah!!! Will try and collect the books tomorrow... :lol:

One word of caution.

The Building & Detailing Scale Model Cars book appears to be out of print.

Will attempt to get more when the next order goes out, but there are no guarantees.

But two copies that I reserved will be available in HHQ tomorrow is it? :D

Yup, the first 3 guys who prudently reserved first get theirs:

druid99
skytokyodrifter
YGTan

The invoice had some remark about the item being OP is what I'm worried about, cos it places some doubt whether anymore can be ordered.

2 other OP marked items which I ordered and received stock this round, is also no longer available on the Specialty Press website (but the car modelling book is still there).

Will pick up the book tomorrow.
