In this issue

"This July issue has 100 pages instead of the usual 84, and it includes a new Feature Plan article for Beachbaby, a classic 1960's style of model which has been designed by Ron Rees to be an easy to build radio control electric brushless motor powered launch. Andrew Cope makes a welcome return to these pages showing how he has easily constructed, from his own plan, a Pusher Tug based on the ever-popular Springer concept and Tony Dalton once again shows how to convert a small scale plastic kit model of KM Bismarck to full radio control. Also, Dave Petts' completes his scale sail square-rigged radio control HMS Bounty mini-series.
Remember the Marx motors that were once so popular because of their superb engineering? John Parker in his Flotsam & Jetsam column lists and photographs these electric brushed motors that were once the standard power unit in so many scale models.
Dave Wooley, apart from his usual Range Finder including the super-detailing of a Deans Marine HMS Skirmisher, also has a further article on the warships of WW1, in this case the generally other not so well-known vessels including destroyers, submarines and monitors.
In Readers' Models, Dave Hipperson's 60 year old models are featured as well as a Midwest Products Yacht Skiff being successfully motorised by Keith Holmes. We of course also have all the other usual regular articles including BMPRS News which is about the offshore model power boating scene, so I hope there is something for everyone here in these 100 pages.
