“Dear edition! I have been modeling, build kordovye-models, flight a big request To you — please let us know what new model airplane engines went on sale in 1973”. V. Vasiliev. Chita oblast. “Tell us about a new modeling technique…” — write avtomodelisty from the city of Tyumen.
Such letters to the editor come very much. Given the requests of our readers in this issue we talk about new engines for modelers.


Kordovye contour-models have always been attracted to model airplanes. To create them, unlike the full copies, takes less time, and aircraft modeling experience needed for this not so great. As a prototype for contour models are most often fighters — these machines are spectacular in flight, they are easily recognized not only modelers, but also the audience. Moreover, in the air, the fuselage does not look flat.
The constructor of this model class SA Maxim Shekhvatov, a schoolboy from the city of Elektrostal (the Moscow region) and the champion of Russia 2001 in two classes of sports rockets SA and S4A. His model made on the so-called paper technology. Fairing glue on the metal mandrel of the five paper petals. The mandrel before it is heated and smeared with mastic “Edelvays”. After cooling of the postmark on the mandrel is applied to the petals, smeared with white glue, and smooth to prevent wrinkles.
This machine is created by a Hadith Shagalievich Shatalin sons from the village Sermenevo. Engine — diesel D-37 electrical equipment — from tractors T-40, axles with wheels from GAZ-66, from him and the frame, but it’s a bit narrowed and strengthened. Bridges shortened and fixed to the frame rigidly. Transmission: clutch basket, gear shift —from ZIL. Steering — the tractor “Belarus”, cabin — tractor T-4, fuel tank — from DT-75.
The proposed model missiles S3B allowed its Creator Tarasov from Chelyabinsk to become a winner of four Cup competitions S. P. Korolev. Moreover, it is universal: it can serve class Ѕ6В.
So we said in the editorial, having received an article by our correspondent from Donetsk and came almost simultaneously with the letter of the head of the shipbuilding laboratory of the Donetsk syut Valentine Boikova. Hello, hydrocutting! We were looking forward to reader responses on the first article about hydrocort, publication of which began in this magazine in 1969.
Conveyor under the open sky could rightly be called a complex of the most diverse and unusual cars, created in our country in recent years for laying pipelines in any geographical conditions. The novelties of this amazing technology are annually demonstrated at the Exhibition of achievements of national economy of the USSR. Here, in the pavilion “Gas industry”, a series of exhibitions dedicated to special design Bureau Gazstroymashina, where high-performance mechanisms for gas and oil routes.
After reading the title, you might think: a motor is being repaired. Nothing of the sort. This patially “Surf” in excellent condition. But it is not set on the boat, and on the original four-wheeled
(The end. Beginning at No. 8 and 9,’02)
I must say that homoplastic aviation material will not name. However, tests of models made with this lightweight and durable material, showed that he is quite suitable for various models.
