A
s we continue into the early months of
2021, it is still possible to imagine that
at some point this year we will start
to return to something approaching
‘normal’ – or whatever that may be. However,
it’s far too early to be able to predict when the
model show circuit might commence once again,
or indeed the airshow scene! Already we know
that many of the regular model shows in the first
half of 2021 have been cancelled, and the grim
reality is that organisers just cannot take the risk
of investing substantial sums of money months
in advance for an event that they can’t guarantee
will take place. It may seem to be doom and
gloom at the moment, but with the vaccine roll
out currently being undertaken it is clear that we
are making good progress towards a point soon
when we will be able to start planning, not just
for aspects of our hobby but to our wider social
lives in general. So, as I sit editing this packed
issue of SAMI, the words of the 1990s song by
D:Ream are running though my head – ‘Things
Can Only Get Better’, or at least we live in hope!
So, I can only echo the words of my esteemed
colleague David Francis from last year in one of
his editorials, ‘Keep Calm, Stay Safe and Build
Models’, a fine mantra to follow. So, what have
we in store for this issue – well it seems to be a
‘Phantom Phest’ with Huw Morgan building the
new 1/48 Zoukei Mura F-4EJ and Mario Serelle
building the earlier Zoukei Mura F-4J, which also
is the subject of our superb cover artwork this
month! We also take a look at the recent Revell
1/48 Tornado GR.4 ‘Farewell’ kit from Stuart
Barry, as well as a very colourful Australian
Army Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter from Rob Van
Dodewaard. We also have a quite superb build
of the 1/72 Airfix Vickers Wellington Mk.Ic from
Peter Straka, and he really captures the look of
the geodetic design pioneered Barnes Wallis.
Also, Dale Smith builds the Hasegawa’s 1/48 early
Typhoon Mk.1B ‘Car Door’ boxing and converts
it to a late War No.440 Squadron CAF bubble
canopy ‘Bombphoon’. So, I hope you enjoy all
we have to offer this month, and remember
- ‘Keep Calm, Stay Safe and Build Models’
Happy Modelling
Andy Evans
