Inside the August 1998 newsletter

IPMS Seattle's winners at the national convention give August's issue a celebratory chapter focus. The kit bench ranges across Italeri's Bf 109F, Academy's MiG-21MF and P-47D, Pro Modeler's Ju 88A-4, Revell-Monogram's Tornado, DML's V-2, AMT/ERTL's McLaren M8D, and a German Army Hummer.

A research piece on World War II U.S. insignia adds historical depth to an otherwise product-rich lineup. The issue works both as a record of Seattle's national-show success and a snapshot of the aircraft, vehicle, missile, and racing subjects members were building in 1998.
