Title: Model Boats Magazine
Post by: rustbust on November 01, 2011, 05:21:30 pm

Hi all,

      I'm a waterline ship modeller and I'm keen to track down a copy of Model Boats magazine from the 1970s. The one in question contained a full page advert for Superior Ship Models, an American Manufacturer.  It was either 1975 or 1976 I think.
 If anyone happens to have these magazines I'd just like to know which one the advert appeared in and I can start looking for it.

                                       Cheers,

                                                G.

I don't recall the advert although I did used to have a collection of Superior warships. What is your particular interest in the ad?

You can of course still buy Superior models from Alnavco: http://www.alnavco.com/warship.htm

 Hi Colin,

           Thanks for responding. I was keen to scan it and put it onto a waterline site as some others had expressed an interest in seeing it. 

           I've got 3 old and faded Model Boats magazines from the 70s on a bookshelf and enjoy leafing through them every so often.

           There's invariably some elderly chap called Reg or Bert who spent 10 years building a 12 foot long battleship.   Excellent!
