WELCOME TO
ISSUE 116
hobby is providing some respite
from pandemic news. It’s been
particularly striking to see so many
of you sharing your wonderful
builds on social media.
As a result, we have decided
to trial a readers’ build page,
which will replace the long-
running
Archive Treasures
from
the next issue. If you have a
recently completed a model
you’re particularly pleased with,
we’re providing an opportunity
to showcase it. Take a high-
resolution photo of your pride and
joy against a white background,
tell us about any aftermarket
or special techniques you used
and email both to the address
below. We’ll select
up to four models a month to be
included in the magazine, and
others may then feature on the
Key Model World website (www.
keymodelworld.com).

you can keep up to date with
any developments for all Key

This month’s cover features
Airfix’s lovely 1/48 Boulton
Paul Defiant, which receives
an aftermarket makeover, and
it is joined by a splendid build
article and history centred on
Special Hobby’s newly tooled 1/72
Sunderland Mk.V. There is real-life
inspiration for a 1/48 Aero L-39
Albatros by Trumpeter, and we
vary the content with two new
military subjects; Meng’s 1/35
Husky TSV and the Sabre Model
1/35 SSymS 80t Plattformwagen.
We are also delighted to bring
you a report on the Madrid Model
Show, which included an Airfix-
sponsored make-and-paint session.
I hope you enjoy the issue.
Happy modelling!

ith everyone coming
to terms with a very
different world out
there, it has been
heartening to see that the
