I've mentioned it many times in these pages that I'm a real sucker for older publications Though I keep a keen eye on the latest magazines, models and modellers. I take equal pleasure in the reading of magazines and books from back in the day. It was the reading of just such a periodical that has inspired this month's column.
Whilst researching details on Hasegawas P-400 Airacobra. Hans Ali leant me a copy of Air Enthusiast from August 1971, stating that some of the details contained therein would be useful and so they proved to be. Within the pages of this issue was a feature, presumably found every month, called Model Enthusiast' written by a chap called W.R. Matthews Upon reading it. a number of things stood out to provide an interesting insight into the world on modelling in the early Seventies, the quality of the kits, their decals and the instructions used to assemble them - all aspects of kit production that we still deal with today!
