You can't get much better than them being on the Internet Archive's site. You can even search every issue at once to find which of them contains what you're looking for. Plus you can download any issue in a variety of formats. It's pretty great.

Ran across this site this morning and haven't gotten any work done because of it: https://rcbookcase.com/ Been looking through the RC Modeler mags from the late 70s into early 80s, and although 90% of each magazine is planes, there always seem to be at least one car article in each. Plus the ADs are always super cool.

edit: Model Builder seems to be about the same as RC Modeler, with issues starting in the early 70s
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

I've tried all the links in this thread...the issues on internet archive I have on PDF, I have a lot of paper issues, but I'm missing from 1989 to 1994.
Has anyone got a working pdf link for these issues?
Thanks!

It appears the link I posted back in Sept. finally threw the ghost. A lot of us have the zip archive, so it's just a matter of who wants to upload it to their cloud storage and share it.

I'm signed up with a couple of file storage sites under their free tiers. I can see if there's enough space on any of them to upload these for redundancy.

If worse came to worst, I could always upload them here but they'd require a hefty chunk of storage space I presume.
