Scale Aircraft Modelling Magazine - November 2022

In this issue

This latest issue of SAM includes the usual mix of modelling and reference with an in depth look at the Douglas DC-2 in 'Aircraft in Profile' and new research on Battle of Britain Spitfire colours from Paul Lucas in 'Colour Conundrum'. Build features cover the major scales with HobbyBoss' SA-2, Italeri's BR.20, AZ Models' Chipmunk, and a pair of Luftwaffe prototypes from RS in 1/72. In 1/48 Bill Clark converts an Airfix Meteor to a PR.10 while Jim Howard sticks with the classic British theme with a 1/32 Matchbox Sea Venom converted to a FB.4 in Suez markings. Coverage includes new kits, classic's from the stash, and hardy perennials, with hints tips and 'How To' in every feature and for all skill levels.

Our historical and reference pieces are widely respected for the coverage they offer, and collected by readers for their ground-breaking research. Our monthly centre-section offers a one-stop precis of aircraft types based on the old 'Profile' series, but updated with colour artwork and scale drawings, while Colour Conundrum draws on original Air Ministry documentation to offer new ideas for well-covered subjects, often with unique insights into camouflage and markings.
