Title: Thanks for Half A Flyer.
Post by: Andrew Tinsley on October 14, 2012, 04:57:57 AM: I would like to give a big "THANK YOU" to all who made Half A Flyer such a great magazine. A great pity it has had to cease publication. I appreciate all the effort that went into its production. What is more it was a most enjoyable read!

Thanks Guys,

Andrew.

Guess I wasn't watching, because I never saw any cancellation notice? Where and when was it announced?

Half-A Flyer was one of my favorite publications, so thanks Larry, and everyone else who produced that fine magazine.

Blackhawk Models is one of my favorite kit manufacturers, so I really hope they will not be effected.

I ran into hideous problems learning how to mold the cowl (it is in the finishing stage now), so could not meet the deadline. :-[

Sure wish I could have seen a few of them.

Post by: Bill Adair on October 16, 2012, 03:17:34 PM: Hi Doc,

I get the hard copy of the mag, and it often arrives a little late. If it doesn't show up this week, I'll contact the Red Baron himself, and let him know.

What a shame the magazine was not successful. I'd have gladly paid more to keep it alive.
