Scale Aircraft Modelling - September 2022

In this issue

September’s issue of SAM offers the usual cross section of scale including a Cavalier Mustang III conversion and Spitfire Vs over Dieppe in 1/48, while in 1/72 we look at the A-4 Skyhawk, a ‘Pedestal’ Sea Hurricane Ib, Matchbox’s vintage A-20, a Buccaneer S.1conversion and a test shot build of the new Special Hobby Mirage IIIC.
This month’s reference features cover the Airspeed Oxford, the RAF’s Sentry and early RFC and RAF camouflage. Finally we add a big AIMS conversion for the Revell Ju 88, converting their 1/32 Ju 88A-4 to a Ju 388.

Along with our usual news and reviews SAM continues to offer better coverage and better value.

A PARTICULARLY GOLDEN OLDIE

This kit is certainly an oldie, and I've recently found that it's considerably more golden than it has been given credit for, provided that you're prepared to do some work on it. It is in fact almost perfect as regards outline accuracy, except for a touch of excess chord out towards the wingtips.
