Unlike the majority of the ColourConundrum articles that have appeared in Scale Aircraft Modelling over the last few years, which have been almost entirely based upon the author’s own research, this article is more of a compilation of research carried out by other people that has been published in a number of places over the last forty years or so. Their names and publications should become self-evident upon reading.

IPMS Column

Coronavirus has had many impacts on our lives over the past eleven months, many of them difficult, some of them tragic and most of them generally frustrating. To be faced suddenly with a situation where our lives are not our own to control, where we are unable to pursue the joys and pleasures we take for granted, and instead find ourselves all too often restricted to our own four walls is not something that is comfortable.
