NOTES:

 

As with other issues, there are a number of different subjects included in the issue to please most modelers and the tradition of having full color front and rear pages as well as full color center pages continues.

Within its 24 pages are four articles;

The first is one that Modeling Madness readers will recognize as it was featured here a while back. This is Randy Lutz's very nicely done 442 Sq Mustang IVA. Randy expands his MM article and provides more nice images with this one.

Next is a most interesting article by Steve Eisenman on speculation about the interesting 'Blue Spitfires' that were used on Malta in 1942. This includes photos and a nicely done model to show some ideas.

Steven Milstone-Turner does a very nice armor article on Detailing the Tamiya Wespe SPG. Some color images on this article and lots of good ideas.

Luftwaffe fans will enjoy Tony Bell's article on converting a Tamiya Me-262A-2A to a -1A variant.

There is also a listing for what was shown at the Nuremberg Toy Show.

Still no columns aside from an editorial and I hope these will return soon as they are always an enjoyable read.

This is a nice, well-rounded issue and typical of what R/T has become in the last few years.
