September 1980

In this issue

Inside the September 1980 newsletter

The September issue begins planning “Seattle '81,” the chapter's next regional convention, and asks members to contribute to its organization and publications. A preservation note follows efforts to save Howard Hughes's giant flying boat, while chapter notices and the bulletin board connect members with meetings, materials, and projects.

Technical items explain how to use vacuformed plastic as a controlled putty or filler and describe a valve for dispensing cyanoacrylate glue. Terry Elmore introduces the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Scale Model Kit Collecting and its Kit Collectors Clearinghouse, including their newsletters and value guides. A correction and apology regarding the “New in Town” shop listings closes the issue.
