Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences.
Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that,
were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day.
I have been
scanning and posting excerpts
from my collection of AAM and AM, concentrating on model
building articles and old advertisements. Whether
you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully
you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All

This particular page is from page 7 of the November 1970 issue of
American Aircraft Modeler magazine. EK Products no longer exists. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics'
inflation calculator to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance, that $249.95 "EK Champion" would be $1,395.90 in 2010 money.
