SAM - Scale Aircraft Modelling

SAM - Scale Aircraft Modelling SAM continues to go from strength to strength with content as original and vital as ever. There is no ‘right’ way to build a model. Make SAM your choice!

No other magazine has provided such stability and continuity through these challenging times, with a balanced selection of news, reference material, and modelling. In the face of a changing marketplace SAM has proved once again that it is the first, the best, and the most obvious choice for aircraft modellers. With over four decades of publication behind it, and an editorial team committed to prov

iding the broadest possible coverage of the hobby no other magazine has provided such stability and continuity through these challenging times, and we continue to build on this reputation month on month with a balanced content of news, reference material, and modelling to offer the reader not only choice but the inspiration on which to base it. Our historical and reference pieces are widely respected for the coverage they offer, and collected by readers for their ground-breaking research. Our monthly centre-section offers a one-stop precis of aircraft types based on the old ‘Profile’ series, but updated with colour artwork and scale drawings, while Colour Conundrum draws on original Air Ministry documentation to offer new ideas for well-covered subjects, often with unique insights into camouflage and markings. From first-time builders to competition winners, SAM has something for everyone, showcasing techniques and products, and demonstrating skills and ideas that can turn an everyday model into a show-stopper. Always inclusive, our core modelling content is aimed at all skill levels and disciplines. We each assimilate skills and ideas to suit our own tastes, and no publication is better attuned to what its readers want and need from a magazine.

This latest Warpaint title covers the Aero L-39 Albatros, a a Czech-designed jet trainer and light attack aircraft developed by Aero Vodochody during the 1960s as a successor to the L-29 Delfín. It first flew in 1968 and entered service in 1972, becoming the standard jet trainer for Warsaw Pact nations. With over 2,900 units built, the L-39 be-came one of the most widely used jet trainers globally, praised for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and versatility. Building on this legacy, the L-159 ALCA (Advanced Light Combat Aircraft) was introduced in the late 1990s, developed to replace aging Soviet-era fighters in the Czech Air Force, first flying in 1997 and entering service in 2000.
This authoritative and highly relevant title includes all the regular Warpaint features with historical text and images, a full breakdown of the aircraft’s widespread global ser-vice, and artwork an scale drawings by Petr Kolmann.

Latest news from Special Hobby
Vautour IIA ‘IDF Attack Bomber’ 1/72
The twin-engine Vautour jet was one of the successes of the French post-war industry. It was produced for the French Air Force as an all-weather fighter and in a bomber version. Israel purchased all-weather fighters and also a single-seat fighter-bomber version, which the French Air Force did not use. The fighter-bomber Vautours were particularly involved in the Six-Day War against their Arab neighbours and even achieved several air victories.
The kit contains four sprues of plastic parts, a sprue of clear parts, etches and resin cast parts. The decals offer markings for four IAF machines, but in five camouflage schemes. One of the machines flew in two different types of camouflage, one in the natural colour of metal.

- reissue of a long-unavailable model
- very interesting machines with different types of camouflage
- we also offer masks and Q72262 set of additional tanks for the model
