REVIEWS
10 BRITISH BULLDOG
Mardave kits are synonymous with indoor racing that is fast
and furious, but also great fun. Many top racers get into the
hobby by racing these British-made machines, and the latest
Mardave model for review is their VRX HR3 with the GRP
chassis, as Peter Winton gets his hands on the budget-friendly
1:12-scale hotrod.
30 PROJECT 24
The NRC-24 has a very familiar look to it, with inspiration
coming from a World Championship-winning buggy made in the
USA. This 1:24-scale model though is made by NRC Projects in
the UK, and will be more at home zipping around your lounge
42 A GUIDE TO AIRBRUSHING
One of the skills you can learn as part of the RC hobby
is airbrushing and painting your own body. This can be
incredibly daunting though, with a lot to learn
about the art of airbrushing, and a massive
range of specialist equipment to
choose from. In the first of a series
of articles that we are putting
together with support from
The Airbrush Company, we
look at the basics including
a suitable airbrush and
compressor, as well as
some ideas to think
about going forward.
60 GEN3 GOES 4WD
We take a look at Tony
Evdoka’s personal new
Serpent SRX-4 Gen3 that

interesting and innovative
features included courtesy of lead
designer, Billy Easton.

fortunate recipient of the NRC-24 and not only built the kit
up, but sourced the specific electrical components for it to be
driven.
48 CUSTOM COSWORTH
The Ford Escort Cosworth went through a number of different
looks as the US company took on the World Rally Championship
in the 90s, and this is Tamiya’s take on the 1998 evolution of the
model based on the TT-02. With a more understated look and
single-colour box art, it still looks great!
