Inside the September 1979 newsletter

September's meeting program features Bob Woodling of Rareliner Decals demonstrating decal techniques and Wesley Moore presenting slides from European aviation museums. Contest results cover armor, figures, aircraft, and special-recognition awards, while the new-products column records kit announcements and rumors available to Seattle modelers in late 1979.

Two detailed reviews form the technical core. The Italaerei 1/72 Dornier Do 217N assessment identifies fit, outline, cockpit, undercarriage, armament, and marking corrections. A companion review of KP's 1/72 MiG-15bis evaluates its molding and accuracy, recommends construction improvements, and supplies references. Together they turn the brief chapter sheet into a focused guide to two then-current aircraft kits.
