SAM - Scale Aircraft Modelling

SAM - Scale Aircraft Modelling In the face of a changing marketplace SAM has proved once again that it is the first, the best, and the most obvious choice for aircraft modellers.
(2)

The most obvious choice for aircraft modellers, our historical and reference pieces are widely respected for the coverage they offer, and collected by readers for their ground-breaking research. With over four decades of publication behind it, and an editorial team committed to providing the broadest possible coverage of the hobby no other magazine has provided such stability and continuity throug

h these challenging times, and we continue to build on this reputation month on month with a balanced content of news, reference material, and modelling to offer the reader not only choice but the inspiration on which to base it. 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. From first-time builders to competition winners, SAM has something for everyone, showcasing techniques and products, and demonstrating skills and ideas that can turn an everyday model into a show-stopper. Always inclusive, our core modelling content is aimed at all skill levels and disciplines. There is no ‘right’ way to build a model. We each assimilate skills and ideas to suit our own tastes, and no publication is better attuned to what its readers want and need from a magazine. Make SAM your choice!

Mil Mi-4
By Jakub Fojtik
This latest authoritative work of reference to join the Warpaint series charts the rise of the helicopter in both military and civilian use throughout the vast territories of the Soviet Union from the mid-1950s. The Mi-4 was the first successful series production type, and its widespread use with the Soviet Army and Navy saw fundamental changes to tactics and doctrine.
Lavishly illustrated with original images, the story unfolds in detail and tells how the Mi-4 went on to serve globally, ranging from China to Cuba, through Africa, India, and the Middle East, and was to remain ubiquitous both in military and civilian use throughout the Eastern Bloc, and with Soviet client states across the World.
The 88-page book tells of the aircraft’s inception, development, and all the many facets of its long service. Few aircraft can have achieved so much yet remained so unsung, but author Jakub Fojtik brings the story to life with a comprehensive and informed text that makes this book the definitive reference on the type, including all the usual Warpaint features, with artwork and scale drawings by Sam Pearson. www.guidelinepublications.co.uk

Ki-21-Ib 'Sally' with Japanese Pilots and Ground
Personnel
LW Airfield Equipment
The Army Aviation of the Imperial Japanese Army during
World War II was tasked with supporting ground unit
operations and engaging enemy aircraft. The strike force of the aviation included bombers of various
types, among which were the Ki-21, known to the Allies as "Sally." The first prototype of the aircraft
took to the air on December 18, 1936, and during the following year, flight tests of the prototypes took
place. Mass production began in the spring of 1938, and it was produced by two factories – Nakajima
and Mitsubishi. Bomber pilots wore flight uniforms designed in the early 1930s when carrying out
missions. These could be summer or winter uniforms, with a lighter tropical version also available.
Leather boots were worn, with pilots often writing their names on the inner surface. Ground
personnel wore simplified versions of the uniform, often practical and comfortable overalls with
fabric belts. Footwear could include leather military boots or the distinctive Japanese "Jika-tabi" with
a split toe.
In the concept of Blitzkrieg, which was a key reason for the success of the German army in World War
II, aviation played one of the leading roles. The effective actions of the Luftwaffe largely determined
the success of the offensive operations of ground units. The numerous air forces of Germany required
a developed network of airfields that could provide quality maintenance of aviation equipment. A
typical Luftwaffe airfield included a headquarters or flight control center, runways, aircraft parking
areas, refueling stations, ammunition depots, and repair zones. The personnel of military airfields
consisted of pilots, technical staff, meteorologists, communication operators, logistics units, security
forces, and anti-aircraft gunners. The perimeter of the airfield could be mined, and a command
checkpoint with a barrier was set up for access to the territory
