I've now been an official member of IPMS Canada for twenty years and it certainly doesn't seem to have been that long. One thing for sure when life become WTF, it is always nice to have something solid to rely on and that is the quarterly edition of R/T. Every issue has well written and well illustrated articles and rarely is there one when I don't learn something.

While this one seems very aircraft-centric, that is not exactly the case.

The first article is on an Airfix 1/48 Anson I built by Gerry Brennan. Gerry has added a few touches to the kit, but mostly it is a good primer on building this one.

Next is a really neat conversion to make a 1/35 Kharkovchanka 2 Antarctic snow crawler. Maurizio Laudisa put a great deal of effort into this striking presentation.

John Lumley built four 1/32 aircraft models to highlight the aircraft flown by Wing Commander 'Stocky' Edwards. In all an excellent tribute to this Canadian aviator.

Evan Jones stayed more grounded with his neat article on MPC 1/25 Trikes. His builds are all very well done and sure to encourage some to give these kits a try.

Finally, Frank Donati gives us a nice how to article on the use of inks. Lots of good photos with this one in case you should wish to try your hand at this medium.

Another fine edition and one I look forward to every quarter. So, you are wondering, just how do I get this great club magazine. Well, it is simple. Just trade boring money for full color magazines. IPMS Canada is a great group of people so you will be in very good company. Can't get much better than that.

But wait, there is more. If you join, you also get the electronic Beaver Tales delivered straight to your computer.
