I have been able to find a copy of the Model Boats October issue in W.H.Smiths on Saturday 20th.
…. they had 5 or 6 issues in stock when I called but at £6.35 a copy the magazine needs to be good - and it was, so I am going to subscribe 😇 to make it more of a pensioner friendly purchase😂
Backing-up Chris’s excellent “Fairey Tales” in the September Model Boats with an a kit build of another Fairey in the October issue can only help to promote interest in the excellent Classic Fairey Model Power Boats.
I drove into Southport yesterday in search of a copy (Thursday 18th September) but apparently I was a day too early, so I will repeat the process today (Friday 19th) the date that I believe it should appear in any shop that stocks it in the UK.
I will try whatever the local W H Smiths is now called as I noticed that they had quiet a few magazines about full size power boats, so I am guessing that would be the section to look in for the Model Boats magazine as the Model Railways magazines are in amongst the magazines about the full size Railways etc….although the Tamiya magazine seems to have got them beat as that too was in the same section as the Railway magazines !
I will search all the shelves, but I need to be careful as I found myself getting quite interested in other magazines such as those that featured scale model aircraft and tanks etc…..and I already have too many hobbies……
Well--
😁I get my copy on " prescription ", I need a monthly fix, ☺ it arrives a few days earlier than it does in the paper shops so it will be on the shelves on Friday 19th. Steve..👍
Steve-S, two Fairey articles one month apart from the same magazine, wow, that is unusual.
Chris F on here is extremely knowledgable about all things model Fairey, and he did an article that was in the September issue.
I'll have to look for the October one now as well in that case.
Cheers for the heads up.
If you want to see a lot more information about the Fairey Huntsman and photos, there's a great article on SLEC'S 48" version by John Milestone in the latest October Model Boats Mag, 8 pages worth.
Hope this is of some help to the Fairey fans. Steve 😀👍..
Those last pictures showing the rear of the Huntsman 31 will help me as I modify the curvature of the front and rear windscreen tops on my two Precedent 31 kits…..and make a spare copy for you too if you have one to build?

Here is a clear case of the online forum proving beneficial to the magazine owners who will hopefully continue to support this forum in the future.

My search for the September issue failed to find a stockist and so I had to mail order it .
