Welcome to Issue 60 of Meng AIR Modeller, the Issue which marks the tenth
anniversary of the magazine! We cannot quite believe that it has been ten years since
we launched Issue 1 back in 2005. If you have been a reader since Issue 1 we hope
that you have enjoyed the preceeding 59 Issues as much as we have enjoyed putting
them together. This really has been a golden age for all model makers with the quality
and size of kits both increasing dramatically over the decade. New kit manufacturers
have entered the hobby with companies like Wingnut Wings for example opening up a
whole new area of interest and similarly, who would have expected that we would see
1:32 kits of the B-17 Flying Fortress? Old favourites have also continued to thrill us with
Tamiya’s new range of large scale kits taking everyones breath away. The decade has
also seen Airfix reborn and rejuvenated and reviving their 1:24 scale range to acclaim
whilst still expanding their 1:72 range. As the kits have got better so have the modellers
and we still aim to reflect this with the most inspirational scale aircraft models from
around the world.
The team here at AIR Modeller would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank all
our readers, our sponsors Meng Models and all our contributors who have been so
important in making the magazine what it is and share our passion for astounding scale
models!

It is pehaps fitting that my B-17G build
project should conclude in Issue 60 after
ten years of the magazine. Removing all
the masking from the clear parts was the
first task after the last Issue and this
relevead a couple of unpleasant surprises
which had to be overcome. After this with
a few finer details left to be added in order
to complete the model it was a relatively
pleasant stress-free run in to completion
with antenna cables, navigation lights and
weapons being fitted and some crew
figures as a finishing touch.
