DACO's long-awaited 1/48 F-104 Starfighter update sets and 1/144 737 kits have finally arrived. DACO's press release is posted in full below.

With this newsletter I would like to announce proudly that the sea
container containing the F-104 Improvement Sets and a new batch of Boeing
737 kits has been dropped off at my office earlier today.

While the first pre-orders have been send out already and if you already
have it pre-ordered during the past week: thanks, your order is going to be
mailed out during coming week, but maybe you haven't and you have anxious
been waiting for the release of these kits too!

For the F-104 Improvement Set this means the end result of 7 years of
measuring, designing, tooling and patiently waiting, but boy what is it
nice! The investment was huge, I probably would never done it if I would
have known the final pricetag at the start (for example the different
helmets have cost me 5000 euro to design & tool). But your investment is
not so high: only 40.00 euro for one FULL set containing over 500 parts.
The sprues with the Wings and with the Fueltanks are also available as
separate item for 12.50 euro each. Discounts are given when ordering higher
quantities.

For the B737 kits this means the availability if a new batch of these
highly praised kits. By request they come now with airliner markings and
General Stencilling decals. The new price is 24.75 euro and I would say:
get them before they are sold out again...

Also separately available now is the transparent cockpit sprue of the above
kits, a very usable part to make the Minicraft B707 / B727 / B737 kits look
more accurate. A set of two is yours for 6.00 euro.

And three new civil decals have been released too: the B787 Dreamliner for
the TUI group (Thomson, Jetair Fly, Arke and NordicTUI), the B737 Classics
for Garuda Indonesia (old and new scheme on one sheet) and the B737 fleet
of TNT Express.

Interested in the Airbus A300? I've released now this older aircraft with
decals of Garuda Indonesia and TNT Express, PLUS all wing Corogard and
leading edges as bonus decal.

Have a look at all of them on my NEW website, which has now a very handy
shopping basket integrated so you can order these and other DACO items
directly from this website.


It will give you automaticly the various postage prices and total for your
order, so it's no longer needed to request these by email.
