WELCOME
A
t the time of writing I’m working towards beating an
early deadline, due to the printer shut-down over
Christmas. This time of year always puts me in reflective
mood and it’s certainly been an eventful 12 months...the
most notable move for me being that of assuming the editorship of
Airfix Model World.
Thankfully,
AMW
seems to go from strength to
strength and manages to offer plenty of inspiration each month. Of
course, one can never please all of the people all of the time, and
I have on occasion received rather robust correspondence from
readers, commenting on editorial content and the builds we offer,
but I also receive many pleasant and appreciative e-mails thanking
us for what we do. Such praise is heart-warming, certainly, but
little of the content would be possible without our merry band
of contributors who work very hard to offer great modelling and
useful instruction. Almost all have ‘day jobs’ so do very well to
meet deadlines and maintain build quality. They might not be
experts in every subject they tackle for
AMW,
but believe me it is
nigh impossible to find an experienced modeller who is well versed
with certain examples of the real machinery, can build the kit to
a high quality
and
photograph it to the required standard...which
currently I feel is very good. With this in mind, I’d like to say a big
thank you to the entire band of contributors, no matter how long
they’ve been with us, for producing such excellent and enjoyable
models. My thanks also go to the team at Airfix, which gives such
valuable support. Obviously, I brief our contributors and get to see
their material before anyone else, and I still marvel at the talent
out there and what can be created with care, attention and no
small amount of ingenuity and imagination. We’ll continue to bring
you builds of the latest kits and, of course, those all-important
Airfix exclusives you all crave. This year will usher in a splendid
collection of new toolings from Airfix, and some will have you
exclaiming: “No way!” All of the kits on the list brought a big smile
to my face and I know they’ll have the same effect on you. It’ll be
great fun bringing them to you all...Happy New Year!
