A Vertical Celebration
I
have to admit to being something of a Harrier fan! My
first brush with the VSTOL beast came at a very early age
and Airfix’s bagged 1:72 Hawker P1127! From that
moment I was hooked, and have followed the types
progress with great interest ever since, and have spent many
a happy hour at RAF Wittering and Cottesmore reporting and
photographing the aircraft and of course making plastic
replicas of every mark I could find! So, I guess it will come as
no surprise that this issue has a ‘vertical thrust’!
This month will be looking at the US Marine Corps Harrier, with
references and builds from Andy Renshaw and James Ashton, along with
the Sea Harrier and a build by James Ashton, and retaining the VSTOL
theme we also have an ‘Operation Romb’ Soviet YAK-38M for good
measure! Its also a pleasure to have a ‘Dogfight-Double’, to coin and Airfix
phrase, with two in-depth builds of a 1:72 Spitfire Mk.IX
and an 1:24 Bf 109G-10. We are also delighted to
welcome Lucky Model with their ‘Kinetic’ aircraft kits,
and they will be the sponsor of our unique ‘Model
Aircraft Extra’ section in this and forthcoming issues.
You will also notice, as part of the continual
evolution of the ‘new look’ Model Aircraft that we have
now retired the ‘News’ section, in order that we can cram
in more of what this title is all about – ‘model aircraft’. For up to the minute
kit, decal and accessory news, product previews, full build reviews, aviation
features and informed comment, then our sister magazine Scale Aviation
Modeller International is the place to be. Under the leadership of my
esteemed colleague David Francis, SAMI is the ideal companion to Model
Aircraft, and these two titles should form the ‘core’ of any aero-modellers
armoury! For our part, Model Aircraft will continue to bring
you some of the very best in reference material, tied-in with
clear and concise model builds, in an easy to read and easy to
view style that sets us apart from other publications.
And don’t forget to visit the Model Aircraft Facebook
page!!!
So ‘Happy-Harrier’…….and enjoy your modelling!
