Kitlinx Newsletter - May 18, 2018

 Hobby News! 

Happy Memorial Day!

If you are a friend 'outside the US', Memorial Day is a US Federal Holiday (Monday is the holiday) in celebration of the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. (not to be confused with Veterans Day - remembering the people who are US Military veterans)

 

Hello Eagle Editions!

Kitlinx is a proud supporter of this company. We have now IN STOCK the entire line of EagleParts, Eagle Editions Books, and the 1/32 and 1/48 decals from EagleCals

 

 Aircraft Skies 

The hottest kit of the week was 1/48 F-5E Tiger II Fighter from Kitty Hawk 

Closely followed by Wingnut Wings 1/32 Junkers D.I

 

 Armor Mud 

The hottest armor kit of the week is one of these two Panda's marvelously ugly kits

 

 Book Worm 

I announced last week that Kitlinx connected to a major Book Distributor. I've been working "feverishly" to connect the book-codes to ours, which is not easy for books as each title has to be searched. There will be 1,100 in stock titles added to the website, and an additional 700 'drop ship' titles from the East Coast. I'm hoping to have this update available next week

Did you know you needed 101 tips for WW II propellers?

 HOBBY SHOWS

Kitlinx will be attending the 2018 IPMS National Convention on Aug.1-4 in Phoenix AZ

If you are attending the show, please say Hi!
