WELCOME TO
ISSUE 141
T
his month, we’re
delighted to bring you
an exclusive build
of Airfix’s 1/35 K2/Y
Ambulance, which (to the best
of our knowledge) is the first
injection moulded kit of the type in
this scale. The release timing was
almost perfect,
coming just after
the Queen’s
Platinum
Jubilee, as a
young Princess
Elizabeth
maintained and
drove one of
these vehicles
during World War
Two – and that’s
just one of the four
options on offer.
There’s another feast of new
toolings: Tamiya’s 1/48 F-4B
Phantom II is joined by a same-
scale SR-71A Blackbird from
Revell and Amusing Hobby’s
Me 262 HG III ‘what-if’ fighter. If
‘out of the box’ isn’t your style,
then the extensive upgrading
and conversion of Italeri’s 1/72
H-21 ‘Flying Banana’ may pique
your interest. Similarly, there’s a
superb build of Atlantic Models’
1/350 HMS
Pe cock
for those
that prefer maritime subjects.
We also feature the last in
the current series of
Next Step
articles, tackling how to get
the best results when using
Humbrol’s enamel varnishes –
occasionally a tricky process –
and I’ve already spotted at least
two areas where I can improve
my own skills. Next month will
bring the return of
B ck to B sics
and we’ll be kicking off with
the simplest of projects and
progressing from there.
I hope you enjoy the issue...
and happy modelling!
