Volume 18 No. 4 - July/Aug 2002

ONE of our most popular issues! Lead feature is by Lance Krieg who reworks the Lone Star 1:48 vacform  Felixstowe flying boat to a level that has to be seen to be believed. Intense interior detail includes fuel system,full cockpits,stores and armament together with  interior rigging. Engines are superdetailed, and  there are many other mods and improvements explored in  this nine page masterclass that provides a dozen stunning colour images and another 22 in monochrome. On the rear cover Bob Pearson provides three dazzle painted F2A profiles for good measure:those building the 1:32 scale Wingnut kits will also find Lance's journey essential reading -and this is only the first part! On other pages we have Italian Nieuport 10 colours and markings with four monochrome images,six in colour of a preserved example and five colour profiles.Colin Owers has the story of USN Hanriot HD.2 floatplanes and Ray Williams describes his fabulous 1:3 scale Avro 504K powered by a fully 
functional Gnome rotary engine! All the regulars appear in this edition including Fabric in colour ,stacks of kit and book reviews and  and there's an appreciation of  renowned aeronautical historian and author Jack Bruce who sadly passed away in May 2002.
