June 1980

In this issue

Inside the June 1980 newsletter

Matt Hargreaves demonstrates cyanoacrylate super glue at the June meeting, and the chapter reports its latest contest winners. A substantial Vancouver show report lists Seattle entrants and awards. The issue also recounts the Gossamer Albatross human-powered aircraft's history and its display at Seattle Center, connecting a current local exhibit with an important aviation achievement.

Product notes cover new releases, rumors, and Hasegawa decal sheets, while the newsletter marks the end of two fellow club publications, NorDel Modeler and One-Up. The main kit review tackles Contrail's 1/72 vacuformed Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI giant bomber, describing the planning, structural work, detailing, and patience required to turn the demanding kit into a finished model.
