W
hen I was looking at the subject
of our ‘Photo-Recce’ feature this
month, it reminded me of just how
many classic and iconic aircraft
types the RAF and Royal Navy
have retired over the past two decades! It only
seems a moment since the skies thundered to
the sound of the Vulcan and Victor, let alone
the Harrier, Sea Harrier, Phantom, Jaguar and
Buccaneer! Our airshow calendar
was packed with venues
to visit and a
plethora of aircraft types to see.
Now they are only memories,
photographs or exhibits
in museums – or they are
recreated in plastic, etch and
resin and are lovingly brought
back to life on the modellers
bench! That is one of the joys
of modelling! For me, it’s not just the pleasure
of sticking plastic together, but it’s the research
into the subject in hand, and inding those little
nuances to make my model that little bit more
unique, or that touch more authentic.
For this month we have another varied mix
of subjects to bring you from our ever-growing
cadre of superb contributors. Highlights this
month include a duo from James Ashton with
the recent Revell Beauighter and
the Hasegawa
Ki-61. We also
welcome Marc
Coomans to the MAM
team with his superb
Su-24 Fencer, and also Brian
Griin, head honcho of the Asian
Air Arms SIG with his ‘Peace Eye’
AWACS. In fact, is hard to list every
build this month as a highlight, and
I hope like me you are spoiled for
choice! So, all that remains for me to
say is……
Happy Modelling
Andy
