DIGITAL SAMPLE ISSUE
genres within the hobby.
If you’re not a regular subscriber
– or this is the first time you’ve
seen an issue of
AMW
– I hope
you’ll be pleasantly surprised by
the contents, not just in terms
of the actual builds, but also the
high-quality photography (all by
the contributors) and supporting
narrative. Both have been
trademarks of this magazine
since its inception in 2010, with
the former vital to creating an
easily understandable article.
After all, modelmaking is a visual
hobby, so we’ve always strived to
show readers just how a result
was achieved.
While we feature exclusive Airfix
material, we also cover offerings
from other manufacturers, such
as Eduard, Revell, Italeri, Special
Hobby, ICM, MiniArt and Tamiya,
plus those from limited-run firms.
We also explore every genre
of the hobby, from figures and
aircraft to armour, maritime
subjects and sci-fi/real space
kits, with the aim of providing
you the broadest selection of
content. Furthermore,
AMW
has
also strived to include informative
articles covering the history and
background to specific builds,
written by renowned historians
or experts in their field. Our
extensive news and reviews
pages examine the latest releases
not only of kits, but also resin,
3D-printed and photo-etched
metal accessories, plus decals,
paint masks and reference books.
If you’re seeking something
more in-depth about a particular
subject, we also publish special
supplements, dedicated sections
or bookazines focusing on either
a theme or a newly tooled kit,
along with reference material on
the real subject where feasible.
No other monthly modelling
magazine offers this much variety
and quality. After seeing this
digital issue, I hope you’ll make
AMW
a regular element in your
modelmaking.
