  • Penknife Models Part III 1/24Th Spitfire Part IV Later Projects Appendix the Halibag
    Accurate Model Parts Contents Part I Introduction Part II 1/120th Penknife Models Part III 1/24th Spitfire Part IV Later Projects Appendix The Halibag Part I – Introduction any model-makers begin building their first kits at a tender age. They may have been M encouraged by parents who recognise the benefits of model-making for a growing child. In the process of following step by step instructions, the youngster can develop creativity and organisational skills, together with an ability to operate in a methodical manner. My own interest in model-making and aviation was handed to down to me from my father John Martindale. I was taught from an early age how to build and paint models, partly so that I would break my own planes rather than his. By the age of twelve or so, with scores of 1/72nd planes under my belt, I built a much larger model: a 1/24th scale Airfix Spitfire Mk.1a. A little later I was surprised to learn that my grandfather, J. H. Martindale, had also built his own version of R. J. Mitchell‟s fighter in 1/24th scale. When I was shown the hand-carved scratchbuilt wooden model I could see it was a generational leap beyond my own plastic Spitfire. It changed my whole perception of model-making, showing me there was a whole world beyond simple kit-bashing. The main focus of this article is the scratchbuilt wooden Spitfire built by my grandfather in 1944 / 1945. His 1/120th scale hand-carved wooden aircraft models and a few of his other projects are also included.

  • Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale
    Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale 2010 USN/USMC/USCG 1/72 Aircraft Kit Survey J. Michael McMurtrey IPMS-USA 1746 Carrollton, TX [email protected] As 2011 marks the centennial of U.S. naval aviation, aircraft modelers might be interested in this list of US naval aircraft — including those of the Marines and Coast Guard, as well as captured enemy aircraft tested by the US Navy — which are available as 1/72 scale kits. Why 1/72? There are far more kits of naval aircraft available in this scale than any other. Plus, it’s my favorite, in spite of advancing age and weakening eyes. This is an updated version of an article I prepared for the 75th Anniversary of US naval aviation and which was published in a 1986 issue of the old IPMS-USA Update. It’s amazing to compare the two and realize what developments have occurred, both in naval aeronautical technology and the scale modeling hobby, but especially the latter. My 1986 list included 168 specific aircraft types available in kit form from thirty- three manufacturers — some injected, some vacuum-formed — and only three conversion kits and no resin kits. Many of these names (Classic Plane, Contrails, Eagle’s Talon, Esci, Ertl, Formaplane, Frog, Griffin, Hawk, Matchbox, Monogram, Rareplane, Veeday, Victor 66) are no longer with us or have been absorbed by others. This update lists 345 aircraft types (including the original 168) from 192 different companies (including the original 33), many of which, especially the producers of resin kits, were not in existence in 1986, and some of which were unknown to me at the time.

  • Material Cultures of Childhood in Second World War Britain
    Material Cultures of Childhood in Second World War Britain How do children cope when their world is transformed by war? This book draws on memory narratives to construct an historical anthropology of childhood in Second World Britain, focusing on objects and spaces such as gas masks, air raid shelters and bombed-out buildings. In their struggles to cope with the fears and upheavals of wartime, with families divided and familiar landscapes lost or transformed, children reimagined and reshaped these material traces of conflict into toys, treasures and playgrounds. This study of the material worlds of wartime childhood offers a unique viewpoint into an extraordinary period in history with powerful resonances across global conflicts into the present day. Gabriel Moshenska is Associate Professor in Public Archaeology at University College London, UK. Material Culture and Modern Conflict Series editors: Nicholas J. Saunders, University of Bristol, Paul Cornish, Imperial War Museum, London Modern warfare is a unique cultural phenomenon. While many conflicts in history have produced dramatic shifts in human behaviour, the industrialized nature of modern war possesses a material and psychological intensity that embodies the extremes of our behaviours, from the total economic mobiliza- tion of a nation state to the unbearable pain of individual loss. Fundamen- tally, war is the transformation of matter through the agency of destruction, and the character of modern technological warfare is such that it simulta- neously creates and destroys more than any previous kind of conflict. The material culture of modern wars can be small (a bullet, machine-gun or gas mask), intermediate (a tank, aeroplane, or war memorial), and large (a battleship, a museum, or an entire contested landscape).
