MAC’S LAST MODEL
Doug McHard’s 1/12th scale free flight scale model of the
S.E.5a first appeared in Aeromodeller December 1957 issue.
Over half a century later, the author built another superb
example - his last’ yet it endures as a fine example of free
flight scale design

This month, we deal with two of the most notable British warbirds since
the dawn of aviation, both of which were key fighter aircraft in their
respective era.
Similarly the pair are, arguably, two of the most modelled types
among aeromodellers and there must be few of us who have not built
models of the two types during our years in pursuit of our hobby
sometime between school-age, at the time of the Keil Kraft rubber
powered range, to many times larger, more complicated and more
‘flyable’ replicas.
Those K.K. miniatures were built from indifferent, wildly variable quality
and hardness balsa, the shapes needing to be cut out, often using
one broken-off side of a double-edge razor blade; not good, but a
useful exercise in youthful perseverance training!
The Royal Aircraft Factory’s Scout Experiment Type 5 and Type 5a
was/were an outstanding success in stark contrast to some of the other
‘flying machines’ with which brave and often unsuspecting young men
were required to face the foe all those years ago. The reputation of a
good aeroplane endures and in scale model form, the ‘S.E.’ makes a
fine and very flyable model.
So this month, we present this outstanding WW1 era warbird in
construction features for both a 1/12th scale free-flighter and a 1/5th
scale R/C model. For anyone looking to build one rather larger, the
Denis Bryant 1/4 scale 80” wingspan design would be a good bet. It
ioncorporates an ingenious fuselage front/rear split of easy transport.
Fast forward only two decades and the Supermarine Spitfire was,
arguably, the best known aircraft of an equally desperate conflict and
one at least equally popular with scale modellers. But whereas the
S.E.5/5a remained little changed in the two years from inception to the
end of service, Spitfire development ran through 24 different variants
over a full decade, the last emerging as a very different aeroplane
from the first.
For all that though, the original Spitfire Mk.1 can be looked upon as
arguably the prettiest and it this month’s
‘Subjects for Scale’
. For
anyone looking to build a model, then Brian Taylor’s 69” wingspan 1:6.4
scale plans are perhaps the most accurate, and can easily be scaled
to a larger size.
Both the Bryant S.E.5a and the Taylor Spitfire Mk1a plans are
available from Sarik Hobbies.
