Aeroplane Monthly, 3-views and aircraft information
« on: February 04, 2012, 01:18:29 PM »
When building models from scratch the first piece of information you need is the 3-view, then some pictures. One of the sources that I have in my Library is a British Magazine called Aeroplane Monthly.

Every month they have a feature called "Database" and it includes a 3-view, historical information, photographs, more than enough to document a model for CL Carrier competition. Typically these articles cover 18 or more pages in the magazine.

This is a list of the Issue of the magazine and the carrier aircraft that have been covered

Issue              Aircraft covered
Nov 2000               Mosquito
July 2001               Hawker Hunter
Dec 2001               Fairey Firefly
Sept 2002              Hawker Sea Hawk
Oct 2002                Corsair
Oct 2003                Fairey Gannet
Nov 2004               DH Sea Vixen
Jan 2005                Gloster Gladiator
Feb 2005                Stuka
March 2005            Skyraider
May 2005               Fairey Swordfish
Jun 2005                DH Hornet and Sea Hornet
Feb 2006                N.A. FJ Fury
Oct 2007                Hurricane

Dec 2007               Blackbrun Skua and ROC
Mar 2008               McDonnell F3H Demon
May 2008               Hawker Seafury
Dec 2008               Supermarine Scimitar
May 2009               Fairey Barracuda
Aug 2010               Supermarine Attacker
Jan 2011                D.H. Venom
May 2011               Fairey Fulmar
Sept 2011              Blackbrun Firebrand

You can get back issues from the publisher at this web site, but they only go back to 2009. The older copies you can sometimes find on E-bay or Amazon.

I have seen very little information on the MO-1 compared to other aircraft.
