Cautiously Optimistic
A
s we run nto the th rd
month of the year and
see ng just a ch nk of l ght
at the end of a very long
tunnel, I have recently been thinking
about the model show calendar
for 2021 which, as you will
know, has been pretty barren
for quite some time now.
However, there are signs
that we could now be
a little more hopeful of
events appearing on the
horizon for the middle to
latter part of the year. I note
that some show organisers
are keeping the faith that
things are improving, thanks in
large part to the Covid vaccine of
which I was pleased to have received my
first dose recently. I am also sure that, like
many we hope that ‘the big one’ namely
Scale Modelworld 2021 will take
place on November 13th and 14th,
as it was sorely missed last year, so
can we be cautiously optimistic?
So, as we wait for news, let’s have
a look at what we have in store
for you this month. Matt Edwards
brings another of his superb step
by step builds, this time he looks at the 1:35
Dragon Panther Sd.Kfz.171 w/Zimmerit
2-in-1 kit with his usual style and aplomb!
Robin Gilby produces another of his excellent
dioramas with his Winter War scene, and
he also takes us for a trip around
the Bovington Tank Museum
with its reworked main hall,
which now provides a new
exhibition entitled ‘World
War II War Stories - Royal
Armoured Corps 1939-
1945’. Also, we have
the first part of Snorre
Sandviken’s 1:35 Trumpeter
Faun SLT56 ‘Franziska’
Tractor and Flatbed carrying a
Tamiya Gepard, plus his superb
build of the 1:35 ICM Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf
B Late Production with Interior, and our ‘Big
Build’ this month come from Kevin Ottens
as he details the 1:35 Revell NATO Leopard
2A6. So plenty to enjoy, and to be
optimistic about, so all that remains
for me to say is…..
Stay Safe and Happy Modelling!
