ANDY EVANS,

MANAGING EDITOR

andy@modelaircraftmag.com

was recently chatting to an old modelling

friend, and well, we go way back to when

Airfix glue came in small tubes that you had

to break the end off before using, and the

instructions said ‘locate and cement’ on various

parts! We got to talking about hobby shops, and

that when we were younger there were at least

eight or nine we could get to without much effort,

and even our local hardware store sold Airfix and

Revell kits. Perhaps our favourite place though

was a hobby shop in our local town, that not only

sold plastic models, but also flying scale balsa

wood kits, as well as radio-controlled stuff, ships,

books, magazines and all the ephemera that

any modeller could want. I can still remember

the heady smell of modelling products that

permeated the air when you walked in and the

huge models that hung from the ceiling, and a

wall filled with Airfix, Revell, and Tamiya model

kits, either in boxes, or in those plastic bags that

held the early Airfix offerings. The shop was

always packed on a Saturday, and behind the

counter were a number of enthusiastic staff,

who all wore jackets and ties and were always

eager to advise and offer help. I must admit that

I did succumb to the odd balsa wood model, and

in particular I can recall a P-51 Mustang with a

rubber band style ‘engine’ and a Supermarine

Swift which housed a solid fuel ‘Jetex’ engine, that

I could never get to work! Over the years since,

many such establishments have gone, although

you can still see a number of such emporiums

dotted around the country, and my plea would be

to support them as much as you can. Of course,

and as I have mentioned in previous editorial

thoughts, the Covid pandemic has seen an

explosion in our hobby, and mail order modelling

has never had it so good, which is a real boost,

and locally to me has had an unexpected benefit!

In a nearby town, we have a gift and general

toyshop, and a couple of weeks ago I needed to

get a birthday present for one of our brood, so I

dropped in only to find a selection of Airfix kits

on offer. I asked the owner about the display and

he told me that a number of folks had been in

asking where they could buy plastic model kits,

so he decided to stock a few, and apparently,

they have been quite popular! So, you just never

know! Back to this issue, and we welcome back

master modeller Jay Blakemore with his superb

Tempest build, and SAMI regular Steven J DeNucci

brings not one but two excellent builds of a 1/72

Hasegawa Starfighter and a 1/72 VP Canada

Vacform kit of a Douglas XB-43. Also, this month

we take another look at the 1/48 Kinetic Harrier

GR.3 via the capable hands of Vini Pompeo, and

another regular Andy McCabe brings us a ‘Tale

from Iwo Jima’ with the 1/48 Eduard P-51D Very

Long-Range Mustang. So, as always, we have

plenty to inform and inspire, and to that end, all

that remains for me to say is….

Enjoy your modelling
