December 1967 American Modeler

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. Still, many things never
change, so much of the old content is relevant to today's modeler.
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 copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
