WELCOME TO
ISSUE 102
over whether we are in a new
‘Golden Age’ of modelling.
While this can be argued easily
for accessories, as there seem
to be new companies forming
every month, the case for kits
is perhaps becoming clearer.
During a brief perusal of this
year’s
AMW
so far, it’s been
striking just how many newly
tooled builds have featured; this
theme is set to continue for the
foreseeable future, and reflects
well on just how much original
material is being produced
at the moment. As ever, we’ll
endeavour to bring you
as many as of these as
we can.
This month’s cover feature
is a conversion of Airfix’s 1/72
A-4B/Q, into an Argentine
A-4C, and while it isn’t a basic
‘out of the box’ project, the
core theme is a simple resin
transformation, to which
modellers can include the
additional elements as they see
fit. There’s a first for
AMW
with
Copper State Models’ delightful
1/35 Lanchester Armoured Car,
and this is joined by Tamiya’s
all-new 1/48 Spitfire Mk.I and
1/35 M3 Scout Car, and Revell’s
impressive An-225 Mriya.
I’m still on the look-out for
an assistant editor at
AMW,
so for those interested in this
full-time, office-based position
here in Stamford (see p.87 for full
details), please send a covering
letter and CV to the email
address below.
With nights getting lighter as
we approach summer, there may
be less time for building, but
whatever your model-making
preferences may be, I hope you
enjoy the magazine.

here are often
comparisons of the
hobby’s past and present
situations, with debate
