Hi Woodsy
Being such a new reader of Moonbase Central, I do not know if this has been mentioned before.
I picked up my magazines today, and having a quick look at the shelves, spotted an Airfix Model World magazine special called Scale Modelling Real Space.
This is a 100-page special devoted entirely to models of real or proposed spacecraft. It is by Key Publishing in Britain, and is dated 2019 - remember it takes a little while for magazines to make the voyage from Britain to NZ!
The old Strombecker RM-1 Rocket Ship, reissued by Glencoe, from a design by Wernher von Braun. Revell International Space Station. Horizon Models Redstone. Airfix Saturn V Skylab. Heller Ariane 5. Chinese spacecraft. Soviet Space Shuttle. MPC Titan IIIC. The new US Space Launch System heavy rocket.
Several of the articles have photos of the real thing. I expect this would be off the shelves in UK shops by now, but Key seem to have stocks of older specials for sale through their on-line shop.

That sounds like a must-have magazine. I like the combination of real and "proposed" (i.e., Science Fiction!) vehicles. I had all the Strombecker/Disney/Glencoe kits at one time, and the Revell Space Station, etc. Also the Monogram Willy Ley Passenger Rocket, lone gone and sorely missed. Those were the days, my friend! Never to come again!
