HubertB Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I still have a few old issues of Airfix Magazine, and Scale Models. One of the Scale Models issues (of 1974 , or 1976 ?) introduces a new « revolutionary » (which it was, at the time) model improvement technique : photo-etch. At that time, they were using clear varnish to assemble the PE parts, as CA glue did not exist yet, at least for the general public … That reminds me how old I am getting Hubert 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
