Welcome to the Airline Hobby eStore!
Back home.... but brought the flu with me. Those of you who are grandparents will understand! We're working through a big pile of diecast arrivals, a Welsh shipment, and a big pile of orders.
Latest News:

The eStore
In this system you will find every product offered by AHS. Plastic Kits, Decals, Diecast and Pre-Finished models and selected Magazines and DVD's – they are all here.
"Handling" Charge
All orders under $25.00 before shipping will be charged a $5.00 handling charge. This is automatically added to the postage charge at checkout time, and will appear on your final invoice mailed with your order. This handling charge will NOT apply to back order shipments, and will NOT apply to "standing orders" for monthly magazines (e.g. WAFN).
A customer asked "If I place a small second order, that ships with a another order already "In Process", will the Handling charge apply" Answer is "No".... but please remind me in the Checkout Notes of the other order! I will combine and if the new total before shipping is over $25, the Handling Charge will not apply.
Price Guarantee
Prices shown on this site can only be honoured for 'in stock' items. If an item is out of stock, and in particular if it is imported, prices are subject to adjustment.
"Complete Order" Policy
Since re-launching this site two years ago, I have made it my policy to attempt to send "complete orders", with a minimum of "back order" items. This saves you shipping $$$, and saves me a lot of time. With over 7,000 items listed here, it is very difficult to keep all items in stock all the time. Hence I pull and pack as much of every order that I can, then place orders for the missing items. Most of my suppliers are able to fill these orders quickly, however some take months to complete and ship my orders. Hence, I have modified this policy, and will now only hold orders for a select group of highly responsive suppliers. Out of stock items from all other suppliers will be back ordered. Who are these "highly responsive" suppliers The current list includes, but is not limited to, Draw Decals, TwoSix, Contrails, GeminiJets, InFlight, Dragon WIngs, JetX, F-Rsin, Avigraphics, Flying Colors, RBX Decals, Daco Skyline.
Shipping - U.S. Destinations:
U.S. domestic shipments will be sent by US Postal Service (USPS) Priority Post, with "Signature Required" Delivery Confirmation. Only small 'decal only' orders (under 8 ounces, generally up to 12 decals) will be sent by USPS domestic First Class mail. If you want to avoid the $1.95 extra cost for "Signature Confirmation" on Priority Post packages (already included in the quoted postage), please let us know in the "Additional Comments or Special Instructions:" box at checkout. As always, postage charged is at cost, and excess paid is always refunded.
Note, however, that ALL U.S. orders sent to office or work address, or to anywhere other than your Billing Address, must be sent Priority Post with "Signature Required" Delivery Confirmation.
Also, the USPS recently changed how shipping costs are calculated for "large" parcels. Anything sent Priority Post that exceeds 1,728 cubic inches (e.g. 12" x 12" x 12" or any variation) is calculated by volume. In such cases, unless you ask me to ship to a USPS PO box, I will ship via UPS Ground, saving you considerable expense. UPS cannot deliver to a USPS PO Box.
Note, we will NOT ship to a Hotel under any circumstances! While we appreciate that international airline crews would like to save money by sending a parcel to their crew hotel, we have repeatedly found that such arrangements usually result in a lost parcel. Making matters worse, UPS, FedEx and the USPS will demonstrate that the package was delivered and signed for, and will not approve an insurance claim, while the hotel will deny ever signing for the package. Hence, for your protection, we will not ship to a hotel under any circumstances.
