Radio Control: Scale
FOR NEWCOMERS to Scale and experienced veterans alike, documenting your model and deciding how you'll finish it occupy a big part of your modeling time. I find researching the subject aircraft, obtaining the color chips, and locating quality photos of the full-scale aircraft and its various details to be the hardest, most challenging, and yet the most fun part of a Scale project. The other task that gives me great personal satisfaction is finishing or painting the model. If you're an experienced Scale modeler, you've probably developed a painting technique that works well and have a list of finishing materials that satisfies you. What I'd like to provide in this article are some personal insights and guidance for the new-comers. Maybe somewhere along the line the experienced Scale modeler will also read something that he or she can learn from.

UNBELIEVABLE is the only word to describe the amount of correspondence which my article in the September issue of Model Aviation has generated. It appears I have hit upon a topic in which a lot of people have a shared interest, and one that continues to be an ongoing problem of research for most Scale modelers: cockpit colors. Before I get into my new topic this month, I want to pass on some important information related to the September column. First of all, there has been an address change for Monogram Aviation Publications. Here it is: P.O. Box 223, Sturbridge, MA 01566 (tel. 1-508/347-5574).
