Just had to send in a comment after running into this. I made the Magpie, Gnome and Marauder in Delhi, India, in 65-68. The kits were made under license by India's Hobby Center in Connaught Place, Delhi. Some of the happiest days of my life. Thanks for rekindling those memories.

No scale items in this issue, but several CdH plans - fabulous!

I'm sorry to say I'm very disappointed. I downloaded the magazine above and no matter how hard I shook my PDF file, no slide rule came out of it. Can I please have my money back? ;)
Miguel : Radio Control Models & Electronics 1960/05 May : RCL#2448 : 27/03/2019

Ah. Thanks Daithi. I just copied what was printed on page 3. Clearly a misprint. As I've said before, I don't know much about planes! I've changed that bit of text now :)
Mary : Scale R/C Modeler 1986/08 August/ September : RCL#2452 : 27/03/2019

"The cover plane is a Vought A-7 Corsair built from a Jet Hangar Hobby kit." Funny - to me it looks a lot like Frank Taylor's converted P51 Mustang. LOL

I have been looking at your Ray Gaedke artwork for the Lindberg model car company in the 1965 catalogue. Here are some of the original artwork used on the box tops [see pics 003-007 above].

Thanks to everyone who pointed out this issue was missing a page. My lovely husband, Steve, has fixed it & the complete version is now available to download.
