Kitlinx Newsletter - January 29, 2021

 

News:

Kitlinx has added EIGHT boxes of "German Narrative Books" on its website. These books are in the German language, with some pictures, maps, tables or other useful information. We moved 3 out of 4 boxes last weekend....

 

Homepage Header: [new]

HINT: to view the CHANGES, just go to your browser history and click "Clear Recent History..."

Rocco Gioffre  from Valencia, California built this 1/16 MPC 427 Cobra. Now, is Rocco making fun of us Modelers? Do you think it's a "real" picture? His comment: "a perspective trick shot outside with real background, deep focus". I want that car in my garage...

 

We are ASKING customers to send us your model pictures to be posted on our HOMEPAGE. 

$10 store credit will be issued when your picture is posted on the Kitlinx Homepage

Rules:

  • Picture will be 1000x250 pixels

  • As this picture is ELONGATED, make sure most of your model is mostly on the right side (a gradient will be applied to the left)

  • HINT: close-up of details is BEST! We want to see your work! Be proud of your model, whatever your skills

  • Your Name/City/State will be posted to give credit-to-whom-it-belongs

  • You should tell us the Manufacturer/scale of the subject - an any pertinent information related to the displayed model.

  • By sending us the picture, you give authorization to Kitlinx to post that picture publicly

  • Kitlinx reserves the right to post or NOT post any picture

 

Your Feedback:

I started using Kitlinx over the last 6 months or so. I have been satisfied with the order you have filled and sent. Your company has opened up a source of modeling kits and accessories that no one has. Trying to get all the items needed for one project can be frustrating and time consuming. Many sources come from Europe and other countries. Offering those items on one website is great. I would add that if your crew can put together a way of showing all the accessories you have available when clicking on a specific kit number, would be terrific. Shipping cost and time  is also a factor where I am buying from. It's important to know what is in stock and if not about how much time before I can receive it. If you say 2 weeks, make sure everyone is committed to 2 weeks.

Keep up the new trend,  it's great

NOTE FROM KITLINX: on over 60% of product inside Kitlinx Database are connected to each others (55,000 connections). For example, if you are looking at an accessory or kit of the 1/32 Spitfire Mk.IX, there is a link on each item page saying "Related Items, click here." When you click, it will show 122 related kits, decals, masks, accessories from wheels to cockpit details, etc.

 

 

My order arrived last weekend, about a week before I thought it would.  It was carefully packed and arrived in perfect condition.  Since that order arrived, I have made a second order.  Excellent service, prices, and support if needed.  Truly enjoyable shopping experience

Search Tips:

Let me add some "tricks" to the POWERFUL search engine of Kitlinx. Below are the KEYS to search ~ 80,000 available products (63% in US, 37% in Europe)

1. Use the top box search on Homepage

2. Use several keywords separated by spaces to zero-in your search "1/48 spitfire aircraft_model" (59 kits)

3. Use the underscore "_", like armor_models or Tamiya_ or aircraft_accessor "1/48 spitfire aircraft_access" (456 accessories)

4. Use keyword "instock" to JUST search for in-stock items  

5. If you are searching for SALE items, use the keyword "~special~"

6. Don't forget the Manufacturer's link on TOP of each Product-Page. It quickly shows ALL available product from the same manufacturer

7. DO NOT use the asterisk "*"
