This 84 page issue includes Part One of a major new feature on the construction of a superb and highly detailed radio control model of USNS Sioux by Derek Owens. Ashley Needham, a stalwart of the Model Boats Forum returns with his Thornycroft Terrapin, a comparatively unknown WW2 amphibious craft, and Tony Wright has a New Plan for an open leisure boat named Sunday Best.
At the other end of the size spectrum, we welcome Francis Macnaughton to these pages with his neat Plastic Magic conversion of the Airfix 1:72 scale ASRL to radio control, and Andy Cope has been busy once again successfully building a working model, using Lite Ply, of the famous and revolutionary British SRN-6 hovercraft.
There are the usual regulars of Range Finder, Boiler Room, Flotsam & Jetsam, Test Bench, Free Advertisements and BMPRS News, plus we have an in-depth report from the Isle of Man of the 2016 Manannan Model Boat Festival and in Readers' Models, an unusual radio controlled 'Shed on a Boat' is featured.
I hope there is something here for everyone in these 84 pages.
