ANDY EVANS,
MANAGING EDITOR

trange days indeed! As we continue to
pick our way through this pandemic,
amongst the many, many selfless acts
of kindness and support given by so
few to so many over these past weeks, it good
to see the modelling community has also being
doing its bit to raise spirits and to keep modellers,
new and old both entertained and inspired. As
my colleague David Francis alluded to in last
months magazine, plastic modelling has seen
a resurgence as a pastime with many returning
to the hobby or discovering it for the first time!
I can relate to the former, having spent a few
‘wilderness years’ in my late teens and early
twenties when ‘other interests’ began to outweigh
that of the lure of plastic! I did however, in that
time retain an avid interest in aircraft, and also
a fascination for spaceflight, which was at the
time at its height. But as the years moved on the
allure of the model kit again took over, in fact
I can recall being in local a toy shop with my
youngest daughter, and literally being transfixed
by a stand packed with Airfix models. Some were
new to me, but others were repackaged delights
of kits I had previously built, and the joys I had
experienced making them came flooding back.
So much so that we left the shop with not only
the latest Barbie set for my daughter, but an
Airfix Spitfire and Harrier tucked under my arm!
It was then a matter of rediscovering the skills
of, as Airfix used to say, ‘locate and cement’! I
can also recall trawling through my collection of
books and magazines for references on the two
aircraft, in the knowledge that ‘somewhere’ I had
seen an article on the particular Harrier shown
in the kit, and I also knew I had something on the
Spitfire….but where? We are fortunate enough
today to be able to pull together information
literally and the touch of a key, or by referring
to any of the myriad of books and magazines
available for that vital reference or photograph.
Here at MA Publications look to provide you with
some of the best information around to enhance
your modelling experience, with our magazines
and book series, and in SAMI you will find the
latest information on new kits, accessories and
decals, along with full build reviews, first looks

of our out of print books are now also available

so why not have look at what’s on offer. So, on
behalf of David, Tim and myself, remember to
stay safe, stay calm and carry on building models!
