EDITORIAL
hen I took over the reins of MAI earlier this year, one of my tasks was to look through previous issues
to see what we had - or hadn’t - covered, over the years. One thing became abundantly clear: MAI was
predominantly a military modelling title, with the vast majority of features being created around fighters,
bombers and attack aircraft. Civilian aircraft, airliners, light commercial machines, helicopters and the like, were
simply nonexistent. Something had to change.
Though we military modelling types like to think that all modellers are interested in machines that carry weapons,
that is certainly not true. A simple look through the list of new releases sent out by Hannants each week, reveals
that there are plenty of new items from the civilian modelling world, decals, kits and accessories, all appearing in
some quantity. Similarly, a visit to a local model show will allow the modeller plenty of opportunity to see miniatures
carrying civilian codes, airline plumage and bright colours.
For a magazine such as MAI, it makes no sense to ignore such a large chunk of our wonderful hobby. We hope that a change of direction
towards this colourful world will not only generate new readers, but open up a whole world of new ideas, where models can be built and
finished in shades other than grey and green, in finishes shinier than matt or satin. In essence, it means doing something new.
Modellers who have followed my work over the years will know of my fascination with dissimilar materials, finishes and patinas. Building
non-military models allows that path to be followed further and as such, presents an opportunity for further discussion of this interesting new
field. Just look at any airliner to see how detailed their surfaces are; look at the finish, look at the metalwork around the engines, the different

PICK OF THE MONTH…

shades, the delicate markings and in many cases, the weathering that these
ostensibly clean aircraft, reveal in service. The models may be smaller in
scale, but the opportunities for delicate, interesting modelling, are every bit as
great as they are with more warlike subjects.
There are certainly some challenges, too. Last month I mentioned a
challenge to build a glider with a perfectly smooth depiction of a fibreglass
finish, which will be a tough project if the results are to look realistic. But that
is by no means the end of the story. Building a civilian subject often requires
the use of gloss paints, complex decals and a requirement to be extra-careful
during final assembly, mistakes being very difficult to deal with on a finish that
can’t really be touched-up cleanly. Just look at Marcus Jellyman’s photos that
accompany this; look at the paintwork on each aircraft, the evidence of natural
metal and the clean look of the insignia and markings, each an area to test
the skills and open up new possibilities that maybe a modeller used to only
building drab subjects, would have missed.
But it’s not just the challenges that make these subjects interesting, it’s the
sheer diversity of aircraft that really gets the juices flowing. Several months
ago I asked friends on my Facebook page if they had a Revell 1:32 Super
Cub that they might be willing to part with. I’d been watching one of those TV
shows about bush pilots and really fancied the idea of building one of their
aircraft. Having received several kits to build - thanks guys! - the Interweb
was searched for images of these delightful aircraft. Several hours later(!), I’d
found all manner of different Cubs, in all manner of different colours, countries
and environments. It was fantastic to see these aircraft in their natural habitat
and having gone from simply fancying the idea of building one, I’d firmed-up
ideas for not only an aircraft to build, but also a diorama setting for it to live in!
Looking at each one more closely the delicate detail that they exhibit came into
view with their metal and fabric construction, external control wires, areas of
glazing, colourful markings and in many cases, fittings specific to their job in
service, all becoming apparent. I could see the possibilities available from the
construction of these delicate little kits and that made each one every bit as
interesting as anything carrying weapons.
So, we will be looking at civilian subjects over the coming months and
years in the hope that the sight of well-made models and reference features,
will inspire you to have a go at something a little less warlike, yourself. Next
month we will begin with a feature on the A320 family, with both an attractive
kit build and also a collection of images of the real aircraft, being published.
We also have builds of both Revell’s ASK 21 Glider and Piper Super Cub
in the planning, as well as features on both the IL-62 and DC-8 - all classic
aircraft and all perfect subjects for interesting, informative articles within
this magazine!
We hope that you approve of our new direction and would like to take this
opportunity to mention that if you have any ideas for future builds within this
area, to let us know. Heck, if there are any modellers out there who would like
to get involved and who feel that they have the skills to build models, take
photos and write text to the standards already seen in MAI, we would love to
hear from you!
Now, where did I put that glider..?
A SPECIAL BRUSH, FOR THAT
SPECIAL PROJECT…
uring our trip to Dublin, we were handed some
new brushes that have been created by Zoukei-
Mura, for use on their fine range of plastic kits.
These are very fine brushes made with synthetic
hairs. Unlike natural hair brushes, they are suitable
for all types of paint including solvent-based paints, enamels,
oils, and acrylics. This range includes the following brushes:
•
ZM-Special Brush NY-01 (Very Fine)
•
ZM-Special Brush NY-02 (Fine)
•
ZM-Special Brush NY-03 (Medium-Fine)
•
ZM-Special Brush NY-04 (Medium)
These brushes are really nicely designed with larger,
unfinished handles that feel very comfortable in the hand.
The synthetic hairs used on each one form very good points,
which they keep throughout use. The range, though small, will
be perfectly suited to the painting of the kind of fine details
that we all see on out aircraft models - and not just those
produced by ZM!
This is a fine range of brushes that can be bought direct
from RB Productions - www.radubstore.com - who kindly
supplied those seen this month.
