WELCOME TO
ISSUE 130
shortfalls will be addressed
in the coming issues. New
toolings seem to be in
abundance at the moment
and we have three for you to
savour, led by IBG’s impressive
1/32 PZL P.11 fighter, along with
the Kinetic 1/48 Harrier GR.3
and a 1/35 Panther Ausf.D by
Tamiya. This variety continues
with a figure build of ICM’s
eerie 1/16 Wight, Italeri’s
recently re-issued quarter-scale
F7F Tigercat and an element
of fun in the form of Great Wall
Hobby’s ’toon-scale F-15J and
F-35 fighters – definitely ones for
the youngster in us all!
This month’s cover build is
of the re-released Airfix 1/72
Beaufighter, with the basic kit
components augmented by
aftermarket and scratch-built
interior detail. For those seeking
inspiration on civilian equipment,
we round out the features with
articles on ICM’s lovely 1/35 Taxi
de la Marne (1914), Italeri’s 1/72
Fokker Friendship and Dekno’s
delightful 1/72 Howard DGA-15.
I hope you enjoy the issue.
Happy modelling!
elcome to the
summer special
issue of
Airfix
Model World,
which adds an extra 16 pages
of builds and reviews to offer
a bumper package over the
school holiday period.
As per usual, we’ve included
as broad a perspective on the
hobby as possible, and while
we haven’t got every genre
in this month’s pages, any

delight of builder Mike Williams
96
Intermediate Build –
Howard in the Congo
Resin kits are often the only way to model an unusual aircraft type,
but as Mike Grant finds with Dekno’s 1/72 Howard DGA-15P, such
offerings can form very rewarding projects
