astonishing ease, although his down to
earth hands on account of the project
offers practical solutions and logical
progressions
through
obstacles
encountered rather than an exercise in
‘look what I can do’. While I may fall short
of even aspiring to follow in his footsteps
with a project of this nature, I have
learned more from reading his words
than I have from the past few years of
dabbling in plastic kits. Food for thought
– it can be done if you only try.
Apparently!
The rest of our regular team have been
as busy as ever, while I have not. Rick
Greenwood, Andy McCabe and Huw
Morgan continue to operate in some
kind of time loop, while I am particularly
grateful to Mr Bruce Leyland-Jones for
demonstrating
once
again
that
modelling is something we can enjoy
and succeed at, rather than a battle to be
fought either with ourselves or with
others.
These gentlemen and others are the
reason this magazine has engaged me.
Their skill, expertise and enthusiasm has
been a constant source of delight and
inspiration. Over and out.

ICM have covered the MiG-25 in a number of
variants in both 1/72 and 1/48. Opting for the
smaller scale in this instance Rick Greenwood

A Gentleman’s Aircraft

Aircraft in Proile
Dubbed the ‘Flying Suitcase’ because of its
cramped crew conditions, the Handley Page
Hampden was retired from RAF Bomber Command
service in late 1942, a date it is easy to perceive as
belonging to ‘the early war years’, but on closer
inspection one realises the aircraft’s service life saw
it active for considerably more than half of the
entire conlict.
‘The engineering of the kit enabled even the most
basic of modeller to 'have a go' at a biplane and,
most important of all, the actual delicacy of the
real thing is captured beautifully. Whoever was
responsible deserved a sound, congratulatory pat
on the back and I suspect, given the consistency of
quality in the following Gladiator and Swordish,
that the same people may have had a hand in
those as well’

Walkaround
VF-5B was the only Navy squadron to equip fully
with the FF-1 while VF-1B and NAS Anacostia
received one each. VF-5B served on the
USS
Lexington
and the
USS Ranger.
All FF-1s were
withdrawn from service by April 1936 to be
replaced by single seat F2Fs and F3Fs. Twenty-two
FF-1s were converted by the Naval Aircraft Factory
to FF-2s to serve as trainers. In this month’s feature

Scaled Down Gladiator
Since their initial reboxing of the Attack Hobby
1/144 kits Mark 1 Models have built up an
impressive portfolio of 1/144 kits. Huw Morgan
takes a different spin on the venerable ighter and
builds it as a Swedish machine on skis

Scratchbuilding Masterclass
The time, skill, and effort that have gone into
Stephen Foster’s masterful scratchbuild of the
Dornier Rs II lying boat could have illed the entire
magazine. Edited highlights will have to suffice,
but still this brief glimpse of some ‘old school’
techniques in action offer enough insight into the
practice to suggest that ‘maybe I could do it too?’

Colour Conundrum
The Tropical Sea Scheme came to be developed as
one of a number of strands of research into aircraft
camoulage carried out by the Royal Aircraft
Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough that began in
1933. The initial series of trials that resulted in what
became known as the Temperate Land Scheme
had been found to be sufficiently successful by the
end of 1934 that on 31 December the Air Ministry
requested that the RAE begin work on a similar
series of trials with the aim of devising a suitable
sea camoulage scheme for application to

the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force in 1950. The HR-

Helicopter variant and it is in this guise that Andy
