ISSUE 115
than ever, and
AMW
is embarking
on a new endeavour, Key Model
World (www.keymodelworld.
com), in association with sister
publication
Hornby Magazine.
It
combines the best of all aspects
of modelling in one place (see
News, p.8) and will eventually
hold a complete back-catalogue
of features and reviews for all 115
(to date) issues. While some of
the content is free, the
majority will only be available
to subscribers, and this is
complemented by the digital
packages being offered on p.10-11.
At the time of going to press,
production and despatch of
AMW
remains unaffected and the
latest information
regarding the magazine's
distribution is at https://shop.
keypublishing.com/faq, while
additional updates are at: https://
keypublishing.net/t/4JU-6SWUD-
819TOQ9AC/cr.aspx
We continue 2020’s theme
commemorating 80 years since
the Battle of Britain with a lovely
aftermarket build of Airfix’s
re-released 1/48 Hurricane Mk.I,
showing just what’s possible in
terms of adding detail to the
already well-appointed styrene
parts. Unfortunately, the planned
Walrus build isn’t ready yet, but
it will be adorning the cover of
a future issue. In another slight
change, the show guide page
features just those events that
we know are still planned, and
this will continue until the current
Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
This issue features two brand-
new contributors, and I’m sure
you’ll agree their builds of Revell’s
1/32 Arado Ar 196 and the 1/35
Romfell Panzerwagen by Copper
State Models are stunning. We’re
also presenting new toolings
in the form of Tamiya’s 1/35
Sheridan tank and a 1/72 Special
Duties Lysander from Dora Wings.
I hope you enjoy the issue.
Happy modelling!
I
hope you are all staying safe
and well, wherever you may be
reading this month’s issue of
Airfix Model World.
