Be Aware: One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. That’s what makes it personal. If you’ve been around a while you probably already know someone close that’s had to deal with breast cancer. When you’re young and invincible it’s hard to think about such life-altering issues.  You need to know that the best weapon against breast cancer is early detection. In fact, when detected early enough the five year survival rate for breast cancer victims is 98%. The National Breast Cancer Foundation is a great source of information to learn about the Early Detection Plan (EDP). I just might save your life or someone you love.

Seriously Folks:  You can help! One of the easiest things you can do is help make others aware of Breast Cancer issues and promote early detection with your friends and family. Don’t wait until you hear the news and have to think, “I should have done something a long time ago.” To get all the facts from a reputable source visit the  National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) website online. At their website you can  donate to the organization to help provide mammograms for deserving women and research efforts. They also provide excellent guidance and programs to help set up your own early detection plan (EDP). You can even get involved as a volunteer in a number of ways.

Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Rally Car 1:24 Scale Tamiya Model Kit #24048 Review

  

Review and Photos by James Yeager

Morris Mini Cooper Rally Winner! It was thought that due to how well it handles on slippery roads that the Mini Cooper would be a good candidate for the rally races and this car proved them right. The car that won the Monte Carlo four times in a row from 1964 through 1967. To date there has not been a British car that has won the Monte Carlo since the Mini Cooper. Revell and Tamiya both discuss the role John Cooper had in helping make the Mini Cooper a part of the automotive history however Tamiya mentions another key person, Sir Alec Issigonis, who did the basic design of the Mini Cooper.

For the Modeler: This is the Tamiya skill level 2 Morris Mini Cooper Rally Car 1:24 Scale Model Kit #24048. This kit is a replica of the Mini Cooper that won the Monte Carlo Rally four times. This is a Skill Level 2 Tamiya kit 24048 Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Rally car model in 1:24 scale. The pieces are molded in; white, chrome, clear, black, black vinyl tires and waterslide decals.

P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback 1:48 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-5261 Review

 

Review and Photos by Kevin Lawton

The Republic P-47 is probably one of the most recognized Allied fighter aircraft of World War II.  It was certainly the heaviest and most expensive single engine airplane produced during the war.  Fully loaded it could weigh as much as eight tons.  It was armed with eight .50 cal (12.7mm) M2 Browning machine guns (four in each wing) with 350 rounds per gun.  In addition to its machine guns, the P-47 could carry two triple-tube rocket launchers with M8 high-explosive 4.5 in (110 mm) rockets one triple tube under each wing) or ten 5 inch (130mm) HVAR rockets (five under each wing), and two 500 lb bombs (one under each wing). By the end of World War II P-47s had flown in all operational theatres except Alaska and claimed a total of 3,752 enemy aircraft shot down.  A total 3,499 P-47s were lost to all causes.  A total of 15,678 P-47s were produced before production ceased. 

For the Modeler: This is the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback 1:48 Scale Revell skill level 2 model kit #85-5314. The Revell P-47 is actually a re-issue of the Monogram kit and is copyrighted 1967. There are 49 pieces molded in grey plastic and a clear canopy and wind screen.  Under wing options include an external fuel tank, 500 lb bombs, and 4.5 inch rocket tubes.  This kit features a detailed cockpit, a choice of open or closed “razorback” canopy, extensive under-wing details a pilot figure. Decals are provided for three aircraft: Okie P-47D-6-RE, 42-74753, 1Lt Quince Brown, 75th Fighter Group (FG), 84th Fighter Squadron (FS), 8th Air Force (AF), Duxford, England, April 1944; Pied Piper, P-47D-16-RE, 42-75885, Lt Cipipen, 58th FG, 310th FS; The Bug, P-47D-20-RE, 42-76653, Capt Arle Blood, 450th FG, 510 FS, 9th AF I chose the latter for this build. Finished dimensions are: Length: 9″, Height: 2.75″, and Wingspan: 10.5″.

Covered in this Review:  If you want to perfect your build; basic construction; preparing parts for better finishing; optional parts considerations; alternate assembly sequence suggestions for fit and ease of finishing; paint and adhesive selections and applications; detailing the cockpit tub: engine detailing; scratch building gun barrels and the pitot tube; removing the copyright marks; detailing the wheel wells with colored pencils; prop finishing; detailing the ordinance and drop tanks; finishing the pilot figure; an extensive tutorial on canopy masking; decal preparation and application; are all fully examined in this pictorial 13 page, full-color Step-by-Step review in PDF format.
