Inspired and Informed
W
elcome to another packed
issue of SMMI, filled with
features and news that I
hope will continue
to keep you inspired and informed as
we continue to cautiously pick our
way, step-by-step, through this
pandemic that has changed
our lives so drastically. Here
in the UK, we are slowly
coming out of lockdown
and hopefully we look
forward to something
nearer to normality in the
coming months, and possibly
the ability to go to museums
and model shows in the not-
too-distant future and perhaps to
gather some first-hand references and
some motivation for future modelling projects.
So, with that in mind, what have we in store this
month? As usual our own Matt Edward brings
another quite superb in-depth build,
and this time it’s a ‘Hotchkiss with
a Rocket’ that comes under Matt’s
spotlight with his build of the 1:35
Trumpeter French 38(H) Tank. As
usual we have other detailed builds
this month to bring you, particularly
from Lee Powell with his ‘’Desert
Destroyer’ article, which features the 1:35 Airfix
M3 Grant, and this is also our ‘Big Build’ this
month. In fact, we have a triple bill from Lee
this month as he also delights with his 1:35
ICM Sd.Kfz.247 Ausf B ‘Off-Road Runner’
Command Vehicle and his Das Werk
‘Green Knight King Tiger’ in
the colours of Pz.Abt 505. We
also have another excellent
diorama from SMMI regular
Robin Gilby, and newcomer
Justin Rogers adds his
Dragon IDF Super Sherman
to the mix. One of the
cornerstones on which SMMI
is built is our unrivalled news
coverage sections, where we
bring you details of the latest kits
and accessories from the military, figure
and warship modelling genres, as well as a look
at the latest books of interest to the modeller.
Whilst I realise, we do not have the immediacy
of the internet, having news in print is
still very popular and an integral part
of the modeller’s armoury! So, all that
remains for me to say is….
Stay Safe and Happy Modelling!
