Magazines for Hobby and research part.1

SCALE MODELLING MAGAZINE'S

the Australain Magazine which is good for the diary and Articles on everything from diecast and aircraft
mix and match, But General Modelling good for us Aussies as mostly Australin Content and adverts. Newest items the 1988 Tamiya Catologue and New Esci kits for '89
We are a bit behind Ha Ha:

Scale military Modeller from the U.K good reviews and quick two three page articles and series
on say Airfix and Modern vechiles sponsered by Revell etc, missed a few copies lately went to get the issue last back from news agents and the erratic supply and the Icelandic Volcanoe thing has been disruptive on supply:

Fine Scale Modeler from the U.S.A been getting this about 5 years:



Tamiya Model Magazine International (U.K)
seen this around for years, but only again about four years ago:




And the offshoot Model Military International which i rate about no 2 or 3 in the world
see Military in scale to see why but lost me a little when the aircraft were seperated to a new title hence this Model Military were already doing mostly vechiles:


no one# Military Modelling first got this one in 1982 and I was about 13 - 14
Napolenic British Infantry on the cover. off and on for years
But last five years into it and haven't missed a copy 15 a year
Subscription on the way boys (well my payment):

Military Modelcraft International (U.k) Not bad but seem to go to much into topic based
issues which can be off putting for say the Spanish Civil War.
But still get every issue i can, tend to be a bit erratic down under seems to have dissapeared altogether:


Military in Scale No 2 or 3 again last four years ain't missed one
and just started a two year Subscription got two already and still catching up as had to buy the three month wait ones in the meantime:
And have caught up now

No 1# lost squadron 1/300

1/300 in the air boys and girls

here are some of my many aircraft I use to own.


Sovit World War two Airforce completed These are still in my possession.
Different view of same aircraft.


U.S.A.A.F (updated shot)




My BITS & BOBS U.S.A.A.F in Progress (B-17, B-25, B-26, P-80, P-38)


More shots of my Soviet WW2 work:

Bombers


fighters



Pe 2

Pe 2 and Sturmovich


two Strurmovichs

underside of A B-17

A B-29 i think was from Scotia But could only do a silver scheme and never sure on which Squadron/Group
A Black widow which looks like a Navwar, but could be wrong
And a Henscel 219 Nightfighter, Have a under shot which will be in the final Edit or in another blog, i'm not sure again as to Scotia and Navwar origin, and will tell you now both are excellent so
would buy one of each anyhow. As liken to buying 5 to 20 Me Bf 109 etc (all variants)
If they work together good otherwise no go.
Found it the underside of the He 219
Navwar Short Sunderland (or is it Scotia)


And a H&R Stuka tankbuster probably flown by a 1/300 scale "Rudel" from 25 years ago

1/300 LST the plans and template

PLANS FOR THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT A L.S.T in 1/300



the next template about 55mm in width 362mm long
so two of these and about 40mm in average deck height.
work on the bow to be figured out

thanks to Weet-Bix for the cereal box



And the old plans which were drawn out from the centrespread of War Machine
the one about landing craft, Which i need to find! Or as usual replace.

But just the stern and bow are needed as the centre is a straight box and A4 just a little to small


More as i build this up.

But need to work out paper construction so it doesn't bow (the bendy bow)
and to do in plasticard etc, and or to make up a resin mould if this works Out

i will also dig out my mini LCT plans But Scotia do a nice resin one and there is another full on metal one i used to have but the company eludes me.

see you in the next installment.
