Welcome to the Society of Antique Modellers : Chapter 35

Model AircraftThe Society of Antique Modellers Chapter 35 (SAM35) was created in the UK in 1967. Originally started in the USA, as a reaction to the ongoing challenges in material, design and specialisation in competition and aeromodelling.

Some US Modellers returned to the traditional materials and designs and due to their wide spread locations, created various chapters.

The interest grew worldwide, and there are now chapters in all major countries. The object of the society is to promote and encourage interest in the hobby of antique modelling: the building and flying of Old Timer, Vintage and Classic model aircraft, as a recreational, educational and historical activity.

Members receive a monthly magazine, access to out of date plans, various competitions and fly-in at different sites.
