Environmental awareness is growing through ought the world. Recently,
single-use plastics have been limited, will the materials our models are
made of fall into that category? If necessary, we could strip the paint from
any subject and give each model a second, or even a third life. Certainly,
such matters were not high on the agenda of the pioneers of aviation.
They did not seem to be particularly concerned with the concept of
environmentalism and forest conservation when the felling of trees was
essential to providing the building materials for an Albatross squadron.
Another aspect of aviation that has changed over the decades are the
occupational health and safety protocols followed by aviators and their ground crew. I sometimes wonder
what procedures were followed in World War I. It certainly took a great deal of courage to strap into a plane
made of wood and cloth to climb into the lethal combat taking place high in the skies above Europe. Imagine
an aircraft of wood and cloth subjected to the pelting rain, baking sun, and stresses of flight. Would prefight
checklists include inspecting for warped or cracked wood and torn fabric? The mechanical elements of each
aircraft, gun fire, and fuel made aircraft of this era highly flammable. Surely, we should show these pioneering
engineers, designers, mechanics, and pilots the respect owed to the first to fulfil our dream of flight with only
a basic understanding of aerodynamics used to build flying machines from the simplest materials available.
Although wood is typically associated with the aircraft of the Great War, this basic and timeless material
would continue to be used in aviation manufacturing for decades beyond wars end. As modelers, sooner
or later we will have no choice but to learn how to use the enjoyable products the easy techniques used to
recreate authentic wooden surfaces. During World War II, famous combat aircraft such as the Il-2 Sturmovik
which smashed Panzers on the Eastern Front and the first true multi-role combat aircraft in the de Havilland
Mosquito were largely built with this material. The techniques shown in this issue will enable you to play
with the level of wear and tear on painted and stained wooden surfaces. The collection of authors brought
together for this special issue will also show you how to easily replicate painted and bare metal surfaces
bordered by panels of truly convincing contrasting wood grain surfaces, allowing you to customize your
models and enrich your technical modelling skills with one captivating issue.
