Looking for an RN Type 21 modelling article.

[Neil LoweParticipant @neillowe82945]

I am trying to find a modelling article I had for updating the 1/600 scale Airfix Type 21 frigates I have to build. It had colour pics of the modified model and the real ships to illustrate those changes.

Does anyone here know wether this was a Model Boats article ("Rangefinder" be?) or was it from another modelling mag, ie "Scale Models", "Airfix Magazine" etc?

I'm also trying to find an article to detail the Matchbox 1/700 scale HMS Exeter that I know I had (can't find) that may be from "Scale Models" from the late 70's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards all

In reply to myself, I found the articles!!

The article for updating the RN Type 21 frigates was in "Marine Modelling Monthly", December 1993, Warships pgs. 30-33. I had made photocopies of the article in case I lost the mag and placed them in my A3 reference file for the Glynn Guest 1/144scale Type 21 stand off RC frigate, 'spose I should've looked more thoroughly but anyway ………..

The article for the Matchbox HMS Exeter was in MAP Publications "Scale Models" November 1977. I just purchased the mag again (can't find mine still) from Ebay and now wait with baited breath for it to arrive !

Regards all
