ircraft, full size aircraft that is, are of course the
inspiration of our scale modelling hobby and for many,
maybe the majority, it’s the elegant and maybe ‘heroic’
types, like the Spitfire or Mustang that fire the
enthusiasm. No surprise there!
But sometimes it’s the obscure, the often ignored, or maybe the
downright ugly that sometimes get under the scale modelling skin.
For example, back in the days when I was absolutely hooked on
pylon racing and when the models we raced were modelled on the
full size American ‘Formula 1’ or ‘Goodyear’ mini racers that all used
the Continental flat-four engine, I can still remember the caption
under a photo in one of the American magazines which described a
model of a particularly obscure little racer as
“...so ugly, it’s
beautiful...”.
See, as they say, it’s all in the eye of the beholder!
To some extent, one might say that about the Italian Savoia
Marchetti SM79 WW2 tri-motor torpedo
bomber which is the subject of one of
our construction features this month.
Those who designed it, built it, and
took it into combat during the WW2
years must surely have had some
admiration for its looks, because they
christened it the
‘Sparviero’
or
Sparrowhawk - a very elegant bird of
prey.
Aircraft shapes do tend to grow on
you and I have to admit that by the
time I’d finished working on October issue, the blunt and rather
awkward looking shape of the SM79 seemed to have a certain
appeal!

One the bonuses of scale modelling is that the aircraft we model and
the construction plans that appear in magazines, do not really ‘date’.
The aircraft are what they are, each from a particular era of aviation
and which is were the appeal of a particular type comes from.
That’s not to say that designs can’t be ‘updated’ to take advantage
of technological developments in our hobby, as exemplified by the
Max Holste 152, that is the subject of our double-bill free plan
presentation in this issue. What we have here is a 34” wingspan
model for lightweight R/C and electric power that is a 150%
enlargement of a free flight rubber powered model that first
appeared as a full size pull-out way back in the April 1954 issue of
AeroModeller
,
And it scales up perfectly, so we’ve also presented the 25”
wingspan original on the opposite side of the plan sheet, in its
original rubber power format.
But maybe it would suit the latest brand of electric power and
micro R/C. Or, here’s another ‘maybe’; try applying rubber power to
the 34” wingspan enlargement?
There are no end of examples from way back that are suitable
cases for treatment!
