Typhoon Warning!
North West Europe September 1941- May 1945, and this is backed up with Jeremias
Luchina’s build of Cedric Henman’s No.175 Squadron RAF bird using the 1:48
Hasegawa kit. We also have a few F-4 Phantom features, two being model builds
from the Vietnam War and the Persian Tanker War, and a full size reference article on
Phantom Drones. This we hope will whet your appetite for our ‘Phantom Special
Issue’ we have planned for 2016! Elsewhere we have a wonderful Greek Air Force F-5
Freedom Fighter from Matt McDougall, a superb Brazilian Navy Skyhawk from Mario
Serelle and Bob Cantrell’s imaginative take on the Arado 196 floatplane. Plus, as
its ‘that time of year’, can I on behalf of all at Model Aircraft wish you the very
best for the festive season ahead.
Happy Modelling
t has been quite a year for Model Aircraft, and I am pleased to be
able to report that we are going from strength to strength! The
new ‘style’ has been very well received and is proving very
popular with readers both old and new, and the recent IPMS
Scale Modelworld allowed us to ‘test the water’ so to speak and obtain
some first-hand feedback, all of which was very encouraging and very
positive. We have some exciting plans for 2016 with new features,
exclusive offers and a couple of ‘special issues’ thrown into
the mix, and look forward to your company.
This month we once again have a packed issue, with both current
and historic types represented. We do have something of a ‘storm
warning’ with two of our features, as we look at the Typhoon – with
both the Hawker and Eurofighter variety on offer. We are very pleased
to welcome back historian Paul Lucas and his excellent article on the
camouflage and markings of the Hawker Typhoon in RAF service over
