Inside the June 1971 newsletter
The June issue combines chapter news with unusually broad technical coverage. Color and marking references describe a captured Boeing B-17E in Japanese service, Ryan STM trainers, and Brewster B-339E Buffaloes. John Beaman explains how to correct and accurize FROG's de Havilland Hornet, while Rick Goldsberry documents Japanese Army bombs, including their construction, color codes, and markings.
James J. Schubert contributes a comprehensive military-miniature guide covering materials, preparation, added detail, painting, highlights, shadows, and metallic finishes. Terry Moore reviews Monogram's 1/72 F-14A Tomcat, and another workshop article describes a hot-wire cutter for styrene and foam. Notes on Japanese trainer markings, the Major George E. Preddy chapter, mail-order sources, airshows, a chapter parts exchange, and John Amendola's cover art round out the issue.
