Just to be sure of top quality and ‘matched’ strip, though, many experts prefer to cut their own strip from selected sheet. For matched longerons you must mark the ends of the sheet before cutting, and it is a good idea to cut an extra length for testing.

  • Aurora Models, Garage Kits and the Object Practices of Horror
    Materializing Monsters: Aurora Models, Garage Kits, and the Object Practices of Horror Media Bob Rehak Figure 1 The July 1962 issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland carried an advertisement for a new product from Aurora Plastics Company: a scale model of Frankenstein’s Monster (Figure 1). Announcing the first in what would become a long-running and profitable line of Aurora kits based on classic horror-movie creatures, the ad copy, running beside an exploded view of the model’s individual parts alongside a finished and painted version, emphasized rather than elided the steps required to make it whole: YOU ASKED FOR IT — AND HERE IT IS: A COMPLETE KIT of molded styrene plastic to assemble the world’s most FAMOUS MONSTER — 2 Frankenstein! A total of 25 separate pieces go into the making of this exciting, perfectly-scaled model kit by Aurora, quality manufacturer of scale model hobby sets. The FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER stands over 12-inches when assembled. You paint it yourself with quick-dry enamel, and when finished the menacing figure of the great monster appears to walk right off the GRAVESTONE base that is part of this kit. Taken with its insistent second-person you, the text’s avowal of “kit-ness” suggests that the appeal of monster models stemmed not just from their iconic content, but the way they promised to transform readers into modelers in a mutually reinforcing relationship of agency, much as the otherwise static and nonarticulated plastic monster would appear to “walk right off” its base. (Even the choice of subject held a felicitous

  • History of Airfix Plastic Model Kit Instruction Sheets
    History of Airfix Plastic Model Kit Instruction Sheets As a relative novice to collecting instruction sheets, I'm not sure as to the exact 'types' of instruction sheets (in the style of type 0, 1, 1a as with the header cards), but I know the style and format of the instructions has changed over the years. I am mainly concerned with the instruction sheets from boxed kits, less colourful than the header cards, but just as interesting to collect, and come in infinitely more styles and variants. I guess these sheets also have 'type' categories and perhaps someone could clue me in as to what they are, but here goes with my interpretation of instruction sheet types through the years. My first model was the Airfix Folland Gnat, bought for my 6th birthday by the older boy next door, who then took great delight in taking it back off me, building it and then handing me back the finished model (unpainted and with no decals applied!) but I loved it. The header card was never returned and I have been unable (so far) to get a replacement. I was hooked on models from then on and started buying my own (along with my bother whose model-making skills can only be described as abysmal!!). My early models included the Fairey Swordfish, Avro Anson, Armstrong Vickers Wellington and the Hawker P1127, the physical models of which have long since disappeared but for some strange reason, I carefully stored all the instructions in various empty Airfix model boxes. On cold winter evenings I would spent hours looking at these old instruction sheets, and with the aid of my copies of early Airfix catalogues, I would select, buy and then make models that I thought were interesting, if only to add to my instruction sheet collection.

  • Plastic Model Conversion John E
    Tech Tips-009 A help series Dedicated to the dissemination of Detail model building methods and techniques. Materials and methods presented here are not intended as the best or only solutions to the modeling challenge(s) discussed, rather as methods and procedures which have a proven record of success in actual use. Please keep experimenting with new materials and techniques as this is the only way to expand the fields of knowledge. Procedures in Plastic Model Conversion John E. McCoy Sr. NAR-15731 revised: Dec 5, 2001. – Rev 04-21-2016 1.) PICKING THE MODEL: a.) Decide the amount of Detailing and TIME you want to put in the model. Usually smaller models have less available "Stock" detail, However I have seen 1:72 scale F-100 Super Sabers with custom detailing so fine, from the proper angles you can't tell if it's a model or the real thing. b.) Decide which type of kit you would like to attempt. 2.) STARTING CONSTRUCTION: a:) Open the kit and arrange the parts you'll be needing, fuselage, wings, stabilizers, tail, canopy, nozzles, ordnance, etc. b.) Layout the main body parts on heavy cardboard to get a top and side view cardboard cutout of the model. Balance these cutouts on the edge of a ruler to find the L.C.P. (Lateral Center of Aerodynamic Pressure) Include the rockets, bombs and other drop tanks etc., in your cutouts. This will avoid unfortunate consequences at the flying field. c.) Find the BEST size body tube and nose plug, for your purpose.

This segment reportedly includes some never- before-seen archival footage taken in 1968 of the first fleet hydrofoil, TUCUMCARI, as well as a recent interview with her first Skipper (and IHS-member), Martinn Mandles. The International Hydrofoil Society is credited by the producers, and our IHS website is listed for viewers who would like to learn more about hydrofoils. The colorful host of MAIL CALL is a former Marine Corps drill instructor (and award-winning actor), R. Lee Ermey. This episode of MAIL CALL is a "must-watch" for all members and friends of the IHS! -- Martinn H. Mandles ([email protected]) [15 Mar 02] Beginning in 1952, the U.S. Navy sponsored a research & development program to construct & evaluate a number of hydrofoil test-craft. As a result of this program, in April 1966, the Navy's Bureau of Ships awarded contracts for two competing hydrofoil gunboats, the PGH-1 to the Grumman Corporation, and the PGH- 2 to the Boeing Company. The contract to Boeing was for a fixed price of $4m.
