Inside the December 1970 newsletter
The December 1970 issue ranges from World War I aircraft to modern armor and jets. Its lead survey compares Fokker Dr.I kits from Revell, Aurora, Airfix, and Bachmann. Terry Moore explains how he corrected and built FROG's 1/72 de Havilland Mosquito B Mk IV, compares Bare-Metal foil with adhesive metal-skin products, and describes converting Monogram's P-51B into a P-51D. Doug Beagley reviews Royal Air Force aircrew clothing, while Steve Cozad converts Airfix's StuG III into a StuH 42 with side skirts.
Additional reviews cover Hasegawa's 1/32 Boeing P-12E, armor-modeling scales and camouflage, and Larry Buettner's quick-reference guide to F-4 Phantom variants and conversions. Technical material includes PB4Y-2 and B-24 cockpit references, U.S. Navy F6F colors and markings, and Jim Schubert's tips on research, kit inspection, canopies, and clean construction. Chapter pages report the regional CAN-AM meeting, contest winners, December activities, 1971 officers, and dues.
