First and foremost it’s a modellers’ magazine, and therefore will mix kit builds and conversions with historical and reference pieces, but with the focus always on information and images that will be of benefit to those building in scale. Regular authors include Dr. Alfred Price, Jack Herris, whose WWI articles couple in-depth research with a seemingly inexhaustible database of historical photographs, Nico Braas, a well known author and historian, whose archive material on post-war and ‘classic’ subjects has excited considerable comment, and Robin Polderman, whose astonishing photo-shoots cover aviation events worldwide
