THE NAVIGATOR

Alamo Squadron’s newsletter, The Navigator, showcases our hobby-centered club which, at its core, is focused on scale modeling of all kinds, and is an excellent source of information for those who wish to enhance their modeling skills and improve their modeling techniques. It focuses on modeling news, skills, techniques, individual club members and their modeling interests, and the social fabric (scale modeling) that unifies the membership.

The Navigator is published 12 times per year by the club's resident publisher, Jerry Escobedo. Copies are emailed to Alamo Squadron members in the last week of each month with a target of a week prior to that month's meeting. On-line copies are made available here.
