Inside the December 1971 newsletter

Bob Steinbrunn's armor feature anchors the December issue, showing how to convert and detail Monogram's 1/32 Panzer IV Ausf H or I as an earlier Ausf G. Aircraft color references include Lieutenant Kirschstein's black-and-white striped Fokker Dr.I and three successive schemes worn by Koga's captured A6M2 Zero under Japanese, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Army Air Forces control. Doug Meyer also supplies a concise guide to tank nomenclature.

Terry Moore explains how to accurize Airfix's B-17G and model “A Bit o' Lace,” aircraft 42-97976. A substantial Kawanishi Type 94 E7K1/E7K2 “Alf” article covers conversion details and color schemes. The workshop pages collect techniques for canopy frames, stenciled markings, clear panels, gun-turret and windscreen slots, masking, knife blades, substitute hypodermic tubing, and navigation lights, alongside new officers and chapter notices.
