Inside the May 1992 newsletter

May's chapter news focuses on meeting dates, a planned Museum of Flight show, and the final logistics leading up to the Seattle national convention. A new-products survey covers Cooper Details accessories, Premiere's Hornet and Sea Hornet, Eastern European vacuforms, Rareplanes' Coronado, a resin Spitfire, and a Monogram reference book on the Arado Ar 234.

The main kit article is Andrew Birkbeck's close review of Dragon/DML's 1/72 Heinkel He 219A-0 night fighter. It examines the cockpit, landing gear and wheel wells, soft plastic, fit, propellers, radar aerials, and decals, concluding that the kit rewards patient construction. Terry Moore adds shorter reviews of Huma's 1/72 Triebflügel vertical-takeoff fighter, the FROG 1/72 Martin Maryland, and Paul Stillwell's book Battleship Arizona: An Illustrated History.
