WELCOME TO
ISSUE 77
Audit Bureau of Circulations,
and we’ve gained more than 200
new readers per month for the
period Jan-Dec 2016. This is the
third year
AMW
has upped its
sales, which means it has only
reinforced its position as Europe’s
biggest-selling monthly modelling
magazine. With average sales of
12,730 copies per month, I feel
it’s timely to remind potential
and current advertisers of the
benefits of being seen in
AMW…
especially as it is the only
modelling publication in the UK to
have an ABC certificate; an official
record that can’t be fudged, faked
or embellished. If you're a kit or
aftermarket producer, and wish to
gain coverage for your products,
simply e-mail me in the first
instance, or send your products
for my attention to the address in
our reviews section.
As I’ve said before though,
continued success doesn’t mean
laurels can be rested on, and
the team is always conscious of
how we can improve, and offer
interesting and useful content.
Traditionally, our history/
reference features have always
concerned a subject that’s being
built in the same issue, but this
month we buck the trend and
offer a fascinating look at how
special schemes have been
applied to full-size RAF Chinook
helicopters. I’m considering
publishing other stand-alone
features that do not accompany
builds, but nonetheless will be
beneficial to modellers. I’d like to
know what you think…after all,
this is
your
magazine, so please
e-mail your comments and any
article suggestions to me.
Another reason for my even
more buoyant than usual mood,
is that Assistant Editor Stu and I
visited The Tank Museum’s first
model show last month and we
both had a blast; there’s nothing
quite like a new model show to get
the creative juices flowing, and
boost the inspiration levels. TTM
and its volunteers did a grand job,
and a full report will feature in
next month’s
AMW.
W
ithout sounding like a
broken record, I need
to say another big
‘thank you’ to you the
readers, and my staff/contributor
team.
AMW
has received its
new sales certificate from the
