Model Airplane International #44
Model Airplane International is the aircraft modeling magazine that I don’t buy regularly. Its new kit listing and coming soon listing are very helpful. The layout is attractive and easy to read. I am not sure why I don’t buy this magazine regularly, but I don’t.
This issue has several things for the 72nd scale modeler. It has a very nice review of the DML He-219B. It also has a quick build article on the Special Hobby P-40F. Most of the issue is taken up with a build of the new 32nd scale Revell Ju-88A. It does however have a feature build of the Academy Me-262. I’ve heard some criticism of the nose profile of this kit, but the builder/author makes no mention of it. Finally, the aircraft featured in the history article is the French Dewoitine D.520. This has a very nice brief history of the type as well as numerous photos and a number of side view color illustrations of its use by various air forces. All in all this was a good issue that made me wonder why I don’t get this magazine more often.
