Inside the July 1980 newsletter
July prepares members for the IPMS/USA National Convention in Salt Lake City with a final chapter contest and travel-oriented notices. The newsletter also reports efforts to revive IPMS Bellingham and compiles shop news, kit rumors, and a bulletin board of wanted or available modeling items.
The principal review evaluates the IPMS/USA book Hints and Tips for Plastic Modeling as a practical reference. Product-history notes identify Australian reissues of older Aurora and Revell kits. A color-reference item documents an experimental gray scheme worn by an Oregon Army National Guard OV-10D, giving aircraft modelers a contemporary regional subject.
