Pick up any magazine and you’ll finda number of articles that are simply stepby step guides to painting and weathering,with the model kit that is being used as acanvass, almost an afterthought.Unfair? Maybe, but I think that a rebalancing of the scales infavour of the construction of the kit is needed and that is what weIMODELMAKING VERSUS MODEL FINISHING…intend to do over the coming months.Firstly, I am in no way decrying the content of the othermagazines that are on sale for you to enjoy. Each offers the readerplenty of wonderfully inspiring models that it is hoped, will send yourunning to the workbench. But there can be a degree of repetition,with similar step by step guides appearing across the titles - thisone included. That is not good for the manufacturers who see theirkits usurped in features for endless images of finishing products, orreaders, who see essentially the same articles repeated overand over.What we often see are articles that show the reader how topaint and weather the model, but less about how to actually buildit. I’ve been guilty of this myself, running headlong through the4MODEL AIRPLANE INTERNATIONAL -September 2015“Any model that you build will needaround the same amount of time tobuild and paint, and yet we oftencreate features in which 10% of thecontent is construction and 90%painting and weatheringIN THIS ISSUE…construction phases so that I can get on to the more interesting painting steps.But this often does the reader and manufacturer a disservice; what if there aresubtleties in the build that need to be highlighted? How was the fit? Was fillerneeded - if so, should you show it? Has detail been added? If so, where, howand with what? Is the model accurate? You get the picture…Any model that you build will need around the same amount of time to buildand paint, and yet we often create features in which 10% of the content isconstruction and 90% painting and weathering. Odd eh?The other aspect of these features that perhaps needs to be rebalanced isthe almost overwhelming use of weathering on every model that we featureand thus the disproportionate number of pages that this takes up. Weatheringof models and the materials on offer to create the illusion of use, is perhapsthe biggest growth area in our hobby. Go to any show and you will findhundreds of excellent products that will allow an infinite number of finishes tobe created with ease, publications, guides, online sites and forums, all offeringadditional guidance to their purchase and use. Though I use these thesematerials, I am more than aware that there are lots of modellers out therethat don’t, modellers who consider the subject, the kit and the markings, to befar more important than the dirt that many modellers use to cover them over!Many of our readers are modellers because they are interested in aircraft, theirdesign, shape, markings and weapons and simply want to create miniaturesof these machines, not the environment in which they operate. Weathering,though a vital part of the picture perhaps needs to once again be - in some ofthe features - a smaller part of the jigsaw, not the entire puzzle. The subjectand the kit built to recreate it in miniature, must be centre stage - not theproducts use to paint it.So, over the coming months we are going to publish features thatconcentrate more heavily on the construction of the kits, especially those thatare new to the market. We will obviously be including painting guides, butthese will take a less prominent position - unless the feature is designed to bea painting and weathering guide, Jamie Haggo’s excellent features, being agood example. We are planning to not only offer this within complete builds,but also publish standalone construction features where an entire kit isbuilt from the box, without painting, to showyou exactly how it goes together withoutthe gloss of a finish. We feel that this willoffer readers the chance to assess a newmodel for themselves, see the detail, fitand finish and then be able to make a clearjudgement of that product and whether ornot to buy it, on the strength of our images.We’ve already completed our first unpaintedbuild, assembling the Eduard Avia B534 for afull feature next month - we hopeyou approve!These are not going to be wholesalechanges, just tweaks that will refocus someof our features, to offer more in the wayof construction rather than painting andweathering. Only time will tell if we are on theright track and if you, dear reader, are happywith the results!Spencer Pollard”Welcome to the September issue of MAI! We hope youenjoy the features this month and find plenty of ideaswithin the content to inspire you to build a model ortwo over the coming weeks.This month sees us looking at a number of Focke-Wulf kits. Taking centre stage is the new Revell F-8. Modelled in 1:32,this excellent new kit is a perfect canvass for a detailed build and someimaginative painting and weathering. Alongside our Revell kit build,you’ll also find a very fine Ta 152C-11 - the latter painted in a stunning‘What-If’, overall pale blue camouflage.Continuing our WWII theme this month, we show you how toreplicate a pair of classic ‘Bristol twins’ the Blenheim and Beaufighter.Using both the Classic Airframes and Tamiya kits, these two willprovide plenty of information both on the real aircraft and the tools andtechniques needed to recreate each one in miniature.Finally, we take a look at the brand-new Kitty Hawk UH-1Y “Venom”.This 1:48 helicopter kit recreates the US Marines latest Huey andas such, offers the chance to included plenty of detail, weapons andfeatures in one, comprehensive package.So this then is the September issue of your favourite aircraftmodelling magazine - we hope you like it!PICK OF THE MONTH…DIEGO’S DELIGHTSENCYCLOPEDIA OF AIRCRAFTMODELLING TECHNIQUES: COCKPITShe latest book to appear under the Ammo banner, is the firstin a series of in-depth modelling guides from the talentedDiego Quijano, one of Europe’s very best aircraft modellers.This one deals with ‘cockpits’ and as such, walks themodeller through the construction and painting of a widevarietyvariety of different kits, aircraft, scales and approaches.
