ARC Sitemap

Greetings and welcome to Aircraft Resource Center.....your online Modeling Club Webzine!!!

Click on the tiny words in the banner at the top the pages to take you directly to any section on our site. 

Classified Ads  This is where you'd post your scale modeling items for sale and this is also where you'd post messages about items you are interested in buying.

Contact Staff  Come here to contact Steve Bamford about anything related to ARC.

Discussion  This is where our viewers can politely post questions or answer questions posted by other ARC viewers or simply just chat about all aspects of the hobby we all love so much.  Don't be shy....jump right in...you'd be amazed at the depth of knowledge of the folks that visit ARC everyday.  

Editorial   This is our Editoral section....here you will find a steady stream of editorials on  a variety of topics relating to modelling and ARC.

Gallery   This section contains all the model articles that were built by ARC viewers.  The articles labeled "Gallery" are articles that in general contain less text than the "Feature" Articles.  The articles labeled "Feature" tend to be complete articles about the complete building process of a particular kit.  

Guest Book  Feel free to leave a comment in the ARC guest book......I always like to hear your comments.  

Home   This is the Aircraft Resource Center main page.  This page is where you will find the daily updates with links to the latest articles....as well as thumbnail images to give you a sneak peek at the latest models and product reviews.  New thumbnails are always loaded on the left and deleted from the right.  We load one model of a prop aircraft and then the following day we'll load a model of a jet aircraft.  So we balance our modeling content 50% and 50% between props and jets.  Bi-planes are counted in the Prop category and helicopters are counted in the Jet category.

Instruction Sheet Library  This is an ever growing section full of photographic reviews of aftermarket products.  We believe you the modeller should be able to see the product BEFORE you special order it in from your favourite hobby retailer.  Our goal for this section is to have reviews with lots of photos of EVERY aftermarket product made.....and yes we are aware there are thousands of products...we are very determined.  We are currently collecting scans of all the Eduard instruction sheets from the viewers of our site....contact Steve Bamford if you have any Eduard Instruction Sheets not currently in the Instruction Sheet Library.  Currently in the Instruction Sheet Library we have products from the following manufacturers Aires, Albatros Modelworks, Belcher Bits, Black Box, CMK (Czech Master's Kits), Eagle Editions Ltd, Eduard, E-Z Masks, Fine Molds, Leading Edge Models, Maintrack Productions, ORION Model Acsessories, Ventura Hobby Products, Verlinden Productions and Water Mark Decals

Links  This is our ever growing collection of links related to the hobby of Scale Aircraft Modeling.

Reviews   This section contains product reviews of everything from book reviews to in-box kit reviews to Aftermarket product reviews of resin or Photo Etched parts to decals. 

Search this site  This is our search engine.  This feature is very good for searching ARC for a particulars modellers work or for various products for a particular type of plane.

Test Post Clubhouse  Our humour section.  Here you will find a new joke every day, as well as funny pictures and other items that we hope will bring a smile to your face. Humour is important and we have this section to keep the rest of our very serious hobby in balance.

Tools 'n' Tips   This is an ever growing section where readers can come to learn techniques to improve their abilities.  We are always interested in articles that will assist other viewers of ARC, so if you have a tip or technique or review of a tool to pass along, then contact Steve Filak.     

Vanity Pages   Have you ever wanted to have a Web Page of your own?  Well here's your chance.  These "Vanity Web Pages" are of a comical nature and you can learn all about them by clicking on this section and following the links.  And of course this is free.

Walk Arounds   This section contains thousand of close-up reference photos of a variety of aircraft from ARC viewers.  Our goal is to collect a "gazillion" walk around photos.  We're hoping this section will assist modelers to get even the tiniest details as correct as they want on the latest kit they are building.
