Kitlinx Newsletter - Aug.19, 2025

Dear <name>, Thank you for shopping at Kitlinx, llc!

Hobby News


  • Things are "settling down" and it's time to make a Newsletter!
  • Kitlinx received THREE International Orders together on Monday... Now shipping as quickly as possible!
  • The second-tier of the Gilmore collection is getting entered. We added about 80 kits today, and still have to work on the last 100 kits!
  • MORE KITS? In this latest collection, the collector sometimes put 2 or 3 kits in the SAME BOX! Please do not contact Customer Support and try to return the "extra kit(s)". Kitlinx cannot sell these extra kits because the box is only for the original kit. So please take these bonus kits and build them... or donate them to your local IPMS... or even better, teach a youngster to build a model!
Just to give a little update on Pat Gilmore originally from Illinois and eventually followed "the marching orders from his delightful wife" to Utah: Pat flew 35 years for Western & Delta Airlines (Captain of mainly Boeing 757). He also flew C-141 Starlifter for the US Air Force from Vietnam and later operations. He told me last week "when I came out of Hanoi, I was supposed to have 180 passengers because of the mask limitations in the plane, but we took 320! He met by accident one of his "refugees" later in life who was very grateful for his service. He is an important part of the Utah Scale Modelers and a volunteer at the Hill Aerospace Museum. Pat was a prolific model builder, mostly 1/144 - 1/72 and 1/48 scale aircraft and received many awards. Pat's health has been declining and we wish him and his family some quality time together.

Tariffs!

We might not like this word, but our European supplier has just informed us that STARTING AUGUST 29th, Tariffs will be added to each line of products, with some lines charged higher fees than others... and some "no fees"!
It is still unclear of the charged tariffs, but we expect 25% on all Chinese manufacturers, and about 10% on European manufacturers.
These costs will pass on to the customers and we are still wondering how it will affect our industry.
THIS WEEK might be the last week "before tariffs are charged", as we plan a "tariff-free" order early next week before the dispatch deadline!
Stay posted!

Customer's Feedback

"I was wandering through various modeling websites when I saw Kitlinx had posted a "flash sale".  Curious, I started perusing the sale items. I was shocked to see that some kits that I had wanted, but couldn't rationalize the cost, were now on sale considerably less expensive than I had seen on any website! Needless to say the card came out and I was like a a drunken sailor in a brothel. [Kitlinx shall not edit this comment... (-;]. I'm very appreciative of Kitlinx, particularly now with tariff and customs, my overseas website purchases have ceased."

"Thank you for your great service. I had problems with a couple of models and you took immediate action to solve my issues. Received my new model looking forward to starting assembling. Thank you are for having high standards and great cooperation. Have an enjoyable summer. Hope you’re not having the wildlife problems. That were experiencing" [Kitlinx comment: I think David is referring to the huge fires in California. We currently do have fires in Utah as well, but not as destructive to property as CA]
