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!

Warpaint 144. 88 pages £20.00
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

Have you seen our 2 Railway magazine BRILL-British Railways Illustrated Railway Bylines www.guidelinepublications.co.uk British Railways Illustrated is known and respected for the depth and quality of its historically-based articles. Focussing on the nationalised and early modernisation era of British Railways from 1948 to the 1970s, any aspect of vintage railway operations is grist to the mill as long as it is well-researched and written. Railway Bylines focuses on the backwaters of our railway system, bringing to life long-gone industrial systems, country branches, narrow gauge and mineral lines. With a wide-ranging editorial remit the magazine covers the rolling stock, buildings and infrastructure, and its content is largely focussed on pre-1970s subjects, although material is planned and programmed for its interest and rarity and frequently strays outside these parameters. #railway #hobby #steamtrain #locomotive

The camera, we are told, never lies, but it can be 'economical with the truth, so BRILL's team of contributors paint a bigger picture, with extended and informed captions bringing to life the classic black and white photography that constitutes the bulk of its content. Featuring a colour cover, 56 pages of text and, typically, 60-70 high quality black and white images, most issues include maps and plans/diagrams where appropriate. 'History with a good helping of nostalgia' is its hallmark with some humour thrown in. #railway #hobby #steamtrain #locomotive

Warpaint No.142 Price £19.00. ON SALE NOW https://tinyurl.com/Warpaint-142 Dassault Mirage F1 By Andy Evans During the 1960s, Dassault commenced development of what would be-come the Mirage F1 as a private venture, alongside the larger Mirage F2. Work on the F1 eventually took precedence over the more costly F2, which was cancelled during the late 1960s. The Armée de l'Air took great interest in the fledgling F1 to meet its requirement for an all-weather interceptor aircraft. The Mirage F1 was of similar size to the Mirage III and Mirage 5 and was powered by the same SNECMA Atar engine that had been used on the larg-er Dassault Mirage IV, however, unlike its predecessors, it had the layout of a swept wing, but mounted high on the fuselage, and a conventional tail sur-face as used by the F2. Although it had a smaller wingspan than the Mirage III, the Mirage F1 nevertheless proved to be superior to its predecessor, car-rying more fuel while possessing a shorter take-off run and greater manoeu-vrability. This latest addition to the Warpaint series includes all the usual ref-erence and historical material that has made the series the go-to source for modellers and aviation enthusiasts alike. This book is written by Andy Evans and is superbly illustrated by Sam Pearson. #warpaintbooks #warpaint #books #Mirage #miragef1 #aircraft #aviation
