Is anyone still looking for a copy of The Modern Eagle Guide? I was just told that F-4DAble Models in Malaysia still has a few copies remaining in stock. Better hurry, though!

I checked with him this week. He didn't actually have any but he was looking at a shop where he consigns them. They may have had one.

They do have the Scale Viper books available.

I definitely will reprint it at some point, but it may be another year or two. It doesn't seem to be as sorely missed as the Hog Guide.

I'll definately be getting one when it comes out, as I missed the first one. I did manage to score a Hog guide in a trade though, so I'm all set there.

Sadly, the Eagle Guide may be another year or two before it's reprinted. There doesn't seem to be a huge demand for a reprint, and there are other aircraft that need covered first.

A simple reprint implies what you've written, plus the wheelbarrow load of cash to pay for it.

However, when the 2nd Edition is released, it will not be a reprint of the 1st Edition. It'll be a much bigger, better book, with all new photos and more/better coverage of the export jets. I have it done and ready, but I don't know when it may be sent to the printers. As I've said, there just doesn't seem to be much of a demand for it. I appreciate the guys in this thread who have asked for it, but given the enormous costs of printing, I need to wait until I can expect to move a substantial number of copies before I can go through with it.

I get asked that from time to time, and I'm afraid the answer is no. I have a hard enough time keeping the pirated and other illegal copies at bay, and offering a digital version would only make it harder. Sorry.

Jake, Will be interested in the Eagle book along with the Hog book. I missed both of those when they were out. I will have to wait for the next edition of the Eagle book before I start my 1/32 F-15C unless someone out there has a copy for sale. Jake keep up the good work on the books. Dan

Dan, cabret, thanks. I'm eager to put out the 2nd Edition. I just don't know when that will be.
