Inside the April 1992 newsletter

April records a successful chapter raffle, award sponsorship, registration progress, and support from other Region VII chapters for the 1992 national convention. Event reports and calendar items are joined by industry news about Dragon/DML armor releases and changes among manufacturers and distributors.

Andrew Birkbeck contributes three substantial reviews: Echelon's large 1/32 vacuform-and-multimedia BAC Lightning, a Dartmoor Military Models metal Saracen armored personnel carrier, and Hasegawa's 1/48 F/A-18A Hornet. Jim Schubert supplies aircraft history and a kit assessment of Fine Molds' 1/72 Nakajima A2N1-2 Type 90 carrier fighter, tracing design influences from Boeing and Gloster. A shorter technical note identifies visible differences between the YF-22 prototypes and the planned production F-22.
