Inside the December 1992 newsletter

December's chapter news covers the holiday meeting, a junior A-7 build project, the new Luftwaffe Fighters group display, 1993 dues, and a debate over whether commercial sales should be allowed during meetings at the Bellevue library. The notices show how the club balanced group projects and member activity with the policies of its public meeting venue.

Andrew Birkbeck provides an extensive firsthand report from the 1992 IPMS/UK National Convention and Model Show at Castle Donington. He describes Special Interest Group displays, contest standards and rules, vendors, and new products from firms including Aeroclub, DB Conversions, Accurate Armour, Minicraft, PP Aeroparts, and Airwaves. John DeRosia's technical feature explains painting scale models with automotive lacquers, covering paint selection, surface preparation, primers, mixing, spraying, drying time, durability, resistance to yellowing, and cost.
