I've been receiving Squadron Shop catalogs for 11-12 years now. I have most of them saved (I am missing 1998 which if anyone has lying around and doesn't want). They have always gone with an Airplane. I' haven't receivied 2005, but in this months sale flyer they called the new Trumpeter Liberty ship Kit of the Year. I really thought they would go with the Nimitz, it is an AIRCRAFT carrier. So, we may get a surprise. When I visited the store this year during the May model show here I ladyed at them (jokingly) for their narrow mindedness. New catalog should be coming out anytime now.

I've got them going back to 1992. I had 1987-1991, but they got wet when my household goods were in storage coming back from Germany.

IIRC, 1988 was the starship USS Enterprise-D and 1990 was the Lindberg T-55 (now universally reviled).

Good news for you is that I do have an extra 1998 catalog. PM your address to me and I will mail it out to you.

I was off their mailing list for a couple of years, that sounds like the time frame which is why I missed that. In the store they have the covers posted and I didn't peruse them close enough to spot this. I stand once again humbled by your wealth of knowledge. In any case, I am glad that they got off their airplane kick....if they did as I haven't see the 2005 catalog yet

I have two of the 2005 annual catalogs...I'd be happy to send one out to a needy fellow modeler...first come first served...

Mine came in the mail the day after Thanksgiving (Friday). The last couple of years, the catalogs have been rather hefty affairs. These things are great for reference.

I think if you haven't been getting your flyers or the catalog, I'd give them a call. Talk to a human on the phone. You'd be surprised at what you can accomplish on the phone.

Dave,
I second Rob. I have called with several problems and with one exception have always had the problem solved. I just called because I didn't recieve Armor Models #4 and have been assured that they will ship mine post-haste.

I have been on Squadron's mailing list for many years now and up until just a few days ago all I ever got were the monthly catalog supplements. Last week however, I got THE catalog. I am not sure what had changed. Perhaps they are trying to persuade me to spend more $$$. :-) Anyhow, I am glad I got it.
