WELCOME
TO ISSUE 134
I
hope everyone who
attended Scale ModelWorld
2021 has managed to
recover from the weekend,
and I’d like to thank all those
who stopped by the
Airfix
Model World
stand for a chat
with myself and the team.
While it may have been smaller
than previous events, there
was still a huge amount of
anticipation and excitement over
the models on show, notably
those in the competition. With
more than 80 clubs and special
interest groups in attendance, it
was challenging getting around
all of the
displays, but
I think I was
successful – our
special 16-page
supplement provides
coverage of the show
for those who missed
it, and even more is
available at:
www.
keymodelworld.com/
sc lemodelworld2021
I’d also like to extend a
personal thanks to the
IPMS (UK) team for a
superbly organised show and
especially those working the
competition and Hall 1.
This was easily the
smoothest arrival
and set-up we’ve
experienced.
The cover may look slightly
different this month, as
we feature our first ever
Airfix Dogfight Double, in
the form of the excellent
1/72 P-51D Mustang and
Me 262A-1a. We’ve
joined this duo
with two basic-
level armour
builds featuring a Dragon
1/35 StuG III and Gecko
Models’ 1/35 ATMP, while
the auto subject
– Belkits’ gorgeous 1/24 Fiesta
RS WRC – is an eyecatching
replica. Speaking of which,
ICM’s impressive newly tooled
1/48 Mi-24V/VP
Hind-D/E
helicopter receives
a rather unusual
Czech Air Force livery
that’s a break from
the usual modern greys and
greens. We also welcome a new
manufacturer to
AMW’s
pages in
the shape of Czech-based AB&K
– if its 1/48 Mitsubishi A2N2 is
anything to go by, then its kits
are likely to have modellers
brimming with excitement.
I hope you enjoy the issue…
and happy modelling!
