Inside the March 1992 newsletter

The March newsletter covers chapter fundraising for the coming national convention, a visit to Paul Ludwig's collection of 1/24 aircraft models, crowded meeting conditions, local events, and the opening of a HobbyTown store. Convention notes ask for registrations and volunteers, while the new-products section records announcements circulating through the hobby trade.

Jim Schubert reviews Eagles Talon's 1/48 vacuformed Mitsubishi A5M4 Claude and discusses the work needed to turn the basic parts into a finished model. Rocky Rockwell gives an extended account of building the OEZ/Letohrad 1/48 Sukhoi Su-7 Fitter-A, including cockpit and ejection-seat improvements, canopy fit, nose weight, filling gaps, landing-gear choices, stores, and decals. A large Toy and Hobby Fair 1992 report catalogs new and reissued kits across aircraft, armor, ships, cars, and accessories.
