November 1970 American Aircraft Modeler

Airplanes and Rockets - November 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.

This particular page is from page 67 of the November 1970 issue of American Aircraft Modeler magazine. Sig Manufacturing is still in operation. I have always liked Sig models, but anymore they seem a little expensive. Of course that could just be due to the lower volumes of kits being produced these days; ARFs and RTFs have unfortunately forced many kits out of production. Here is my Citabria, Akrobat, and my Akromaster. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
