A SENSE OF
BELONGING
I
ANDY EVANS,
MANAGING EDITOR
andy@modelaircraftmag.com
can hardly believe we are approaching
the end of the year! At this time, usually I
would have been reflecting on the Scale
Modelworld show and resting up my aching
feet! But as it turned out, SMW like much of
2020 fell victim to the pandemic we continue
to live through. However, I look forward to next
years show in both hope and expectation. As
I was mulling over these past months, I got to
thinking what it might have been like if this had
happened thirty years ago, when the internet
was not the force it is now! For most of us I
think, it has become part of our everyday, and
for modellers it is a place for of inspiration,
fellowship and resources. The restrictions on
our lives has also seen an upsurge in people
returning to the hobby, or discovering it either
for the first time, or at least since younger days.
I was recently chatting to a very nice chap who
had emailed me asking about a couple of books
we publish. We then got to talking and it turned
out he had just started his first Airfix kit since,
as he put it ‘he was a lad’, and not to give his age
away, he was saying how much the instructions
had changed, as they no longer said ‘locate and
cement’ on the parts, and you now had to apply
‘decals’ rather than ‘transfers’! Sadly, I also
remember this too! He was also saying how much
the internet had helped him, as he was able to
not only buy a kit or two, but he could also get
information on the aircraft he was working on,
and even watch somebody building the actual kits
he had! But perhaps the most important thing
was that he found a couple of on-line forums
where he could chat to like-minded modellers,
and not only get hints and tips, but feel connected
to a community and had sense of belonging.
As this is the last issue of 2020, and we enter
the festive season, if you are looking for a gift
idea for someone, or just to drop a broad hint
as to something to put in your stocking, then
we have some excellent subscription offers
available, and plenty of books that would fit
the bill. You can find details on our website or
elsewhere in this issue. Can I also, on behalf
of MA Publications as well as David and Tim
wish you the compliments of the season and
look forward to your company again in 2021.
