CarLos Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Aircraft Archive books are a good resourse of good scale drawings previously published in Aeromodeller and Scale Models (at least). Some volumes can be found for cheap second hand, the problem is that I don't know which aircraft are covered in each tome. Is there somewhere a published list of the contents? Thanks!

dwh Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I do not know about individual index for these magazines, but I purchased a book called "The Index" by Patrick Martin many years ago, it has the contents listed from about 15+ magazines in alphabetical order. It is around 2ins thick and quite a considerable tome, I have found it to be an indespesible guide and very accurate, it has enabled me to find many articles on particular aircraft/countries.

Patrick Martin Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 "The Index" is still around and updated. The problem is - the moment I would release an electronic copy - it would go viral and everybody would have it without any return for the effort put into it over the years. So if anybody has topics there are looking for - ask. Pat Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarLos Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Dear Patrick, Of course I understand your concerns about an electronic issue of "The Index". Could you please let us know the publications indexed and more details about how to purchase it? Thank you Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
