Quite a Year
upgrade for the AV-8B, and Tim Senior reports from RAF Coningsby on the deploy-
ment of the Indian Air Forces deployment of their Su-30’s to the UK. And putting that
aircraft in plastic, Chris McDowell builds the 1:48 Academy SU-30MK. Our cover fea-
ture this month is the Luftwaffe’s ‘Night Owl’ as Christoff Theunissen guides you
through painting and finishing the 1:48 Tamiya He 219 A-7 ‘Uhu’, and Andy Renshaw
weighs in with another excellent build, this time it’s a US Marine Corps A-4M
So, can I thank you for your company in 2015, and I look forward to
bringing you some of the best features and modelling articles the hobby
can offer throughout 2016. So from all at Model Aircraft, can I wish you a
peaceful, prosperous and plastic filled New Year!
Happy Modelling
suppose that title is something of an understatement, as it really
has been quite a year for Model Aircraft! Suffice to say though it
has been a very, very successful one, and has given the new
editorial team a platform on which to build for the year to come.
Our aim in 2016 is to take Model Aircraft to even greater heights and
we have some simply superb features planned, some special issues and
a few exclusive and quite frankly brilliant competitions on offer, that I
know will be of great interest to the modeller, enthusiast and the keen
aviation photographer! So, as the old cliché goes, ‘watch this space’!
For this issue, once again we have crammed as much into the
pages as we possibly can, with features on the P-40 Warhawk, the icon-
ic Avro Shackleton and the Salmson 2A2. Following on from our ‘Cold
War Skies’ special, we take another glance in that direction with Antho-
ny Tucker-Jones eclectic ‘Dr Strangelove’ article backed up with a build
of the F-106 Delta Dart from James Dickerson. Also on offer is a view of
‘Wingtip-Winders’ from Bruce Rowe, as he describes an unadopted
