Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and personal preferences. Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, American Modeler, Air Trails, Flying Aces, Flying Models, Model Airplane News, Aero Modeller, R/C Modeler, and Young Men • Hobbies • Aviation • Careers, Model Aviation (c1959), and other magazines including even Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, and Mechanix Illustrated, were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day.

Here are some of the advertisements you might remember. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.
