Inside the March 1980 newsletter

The March newsletter promotes the monthly contest, dues renewal, a public model display, and a member survey intended to guide future chapter programs. Local-shop notes and new-arrival lists show which kits, decals, and references were becoming available to Seattle-area builders at the start of the 1980 modeling season.

The main kit review examines Heller's PZL P.23A/B Karaś, discussing its molding, cockpit, surface detail, undercarriage, armament, and Polish markings. Shorter assessments cover KP's MiG-15 UTI trainer and two Monogram Close-Up reference books, one on the Messerschmitt Bf 108 and the other on Japan's Kikka jet, with comments on their usefulness to modelers.
