RCM&E May 2018 issue preview

ON THE COVER…

Arguably one of the most beautiful biplane fighters of all time, it's surprising how little Hawker's Fury is modelled. Richard Dalgleish's fine 60” span, 1/6-scale creation used the Dennis Bryant plan, looks utterly gorgeous and is the subject of this month's Model Magic feature starting on page 110.
