September 1970 American Aircraft Modeler

Airplanes and Rockets - September 1970 American Aircraft Modeler
As with almost every other endeavor, aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences. Monthly magazines like American Aircraft Modeler (and American Modeler before that), have been some of the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day. The days fly by, followed by years and then, amazingly, the decades.

I have been working to scan and post excerpts from the collection of American Aircraft Modelers and American Modelers acquired via eBay auctions, concentrating on model article and old advertisements from various companies (many of whom do not exist anymore). Whether you are here to wax nostalgic of days of yore, or are just interested in learning how things used to be, hopefully you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
