WELCOME TO
ISSUE 89
say we’ve attracted more than 400
new readers in the months Jan-
December 2017.
This is the fifth year in which
we’ve grown our sales, and I
must say a very big thank you
to assistant editor Stu Fone,
designer Tom Bagley and the
entire contributor team; most of
all, though, I should offer heartfelt
thanks to you the readers.
There is no ‘magic bullet’ in
terms of
AMW’s
success, but
our watchword has always
been ‘quality’ in terms of our
editorial, the models and how
they are photographed, history
features and in-box review/news
coverage. It’s great fun working
with the Airfix/Hornby team,
and while there may not be as
many new Airfix toolings this
year, we still have three exclusive
test-shot builds on the cards.
Where an Airfix kit is re-released
or re-worked, we’ll take the
aftermarket route to enthuse more
experienced modellers. Meanwhile,
our reporting and building of other
brands will forge ahead across
all genres, and there is plenty to
savour in the coming months.
One of the most exciting
developments in the past year
or so is that of tank kits with full
interiors, and this trend is set to
continue, with well-appointed 1/35
Panthers from the likes of Takom
and Rye Field (Ausf.A and Ausf.G
respectively), MiniArt’s same-
scale Russian T-60 and others.
Previously, if one wanted detailed
innards for a tank, the only option
was boutique aftermarket items,
and almost always at wallet-
thumping cost. Manufacturers
deciding to offer detail inside and
out are to be commended…it’s just
baffling why it took so long!
This month’s edition offers
new tooling in the shape of S&M
Models’ 1/72 Canberra B.2, along
with a cutaway drawing and photos
of the real aircraft. Inspiration
aplenty for modelling one of the
RAF’s best (and longest serving)
jets. I hope this whets your
appetite for a build or two of said
kit, but for those who favour larger
scales, ICM’s MiG-25RBT and the
Airfix Ju 87R-2/B-2 should be just
the ticket.
W
ithout wishing to sound
like a broken record, it’s
that time of year when
Airfix Model World
receives its official copy sales
certificate from the Audit Bureau
of Circulations…
and I’m thrilled to
