THE AFTER MARKET SHEET VOL. 47A, No. 10A WWW.SVSM.ORG OCTOBER 2013 A Publication of the SVSM Chapter of International Plastic Modeler’s Society, USA “A” IS FOR ARMOR, SAYS “RED” “ MODELS WITHOUT PROPELLERS AND/OR JET ENGINES” Text & Photos by: Rodney J. Williams About 15 years ago I took a break from building airplanes and started on my first tank which was a 1:35 scale M-47 Patton Tank made by a company called RENWAL. I did not take lots of 35mm photos of it like I do today with the advent of digital imaging. Anyways, it was right out-of-the box. The entire tank was painted with a metallic silver paint, then it was over sprayed with some of my Tamiya O.D. The tank was lightly sanded until the O.D. came off in several spots to show some sort of weathering. I went over to D&J Hobbies and bought me some diorama modeling supplies, (wooden base, sand, rocks and other stuff). I applied some sand to the wooden base and added some rocks. I used ordinary Future Floor Wax to represent water, brushed it on the tank then sprinkled on the sand and dirt. My next project was my 1:24 scale “ROMMELS ROD” halftrack. It’s another (continues sheet 4 thru 8) Editor’s MisBehavings – this month’s editor, Mick Burton “ The Last Flight Out Is Already Booked for Us All, Better Prioritize To Enjoy Before Boarding ” Several topics of recent circumstance were on my fingers when I set out to pour into this issue’s editorial. -

I am hoping you are having a little down time to enjoy the hobby we all can’t seem to get enough of. Even better if you are able to share it with friends….or that next generation who hasn’t had the fun of gluing their fingers together, losing a part in the carpet, or spilling paint on your wife’s favorite piece of furniture! We certainly have been busy here at Squadron. This month, we have several new releases from Squadron Products. First in line is a brand-new Squadron Signal book, the P-38 Lightning in Action (Part # SS10222). Authored by well-known author David Doyle, this book tells the story and history of the iconic twin boom fighter that debuted during WWII. Designed by Lockheed as a twin-engine interceptor, the Lightning was advanced for its time and generation. Powered by two supercharged Allison engines, the P-38 played an important and decisive role in the skies over the Pacific and Europe during World War 2. This volume is filled with many drawings and never before seen pictures you won’t want to miss.
