described in detail.
A
t the time of writing, the modelling
world has just seen the 2020
Nuremberg Toy Fair. (This came a bit
late for this issue, but a full report will be
included next month). Once again, we got
to see all the plans and great new kits
manufacturers have in store for us for the
coming year; and once again the number
of goodies on ofer seem to exceed that
average annual build speed of the average
modeller!
It is often said by some that ‘the hobby is
dying’. It’s probably true that in the UK,
Western Europe and US less people model
today, than took up the hobby in the past.
However, I can’t help thinking that, looking
at the huge proliferation of model
producing companies now, the number of
aftermarket producers and the variety of
subjects on ofer, it seems to me that while
it is reduced; the marked is a long, long
way from dead. It’s also said that kids do
not take up the hobby anymore, and again
it seems that less kids do. But years
working in the business in a model shop, as
an AM producer, with manufacturers and
visiting shows and model events in
countries across half the globe has shown
me that kids are still getting involved in the
hobby. Particularly in Eastern Europe and
Asia, a lot more children seem to be
involved in, and enjoying scale modelling.
It is sometimes said that the cost of kits is
prohibitive to juniors and new modellers.
However, there are still a lot of kits in the
range of 21st century ‘pocket money’.
Certainly in 1/72 and 1/144 and even some
1/48 kits.

Looking at the number of new
companies, new kits, and the variety of
subjects, scales and prices on ofer, it
seems to me that there has never been a
better time to be a scale modeller. So, while
the hobby is reduced (in terms of the
numbers of modellers doing it), it is
deinitely unbowed. Long may that
continue…
Turning to this issue, I am pleased to say
Paul Lucas returns this month with a new
Colour Conundrum, and I welcome our
regular artist, Jan Polc to the writing seat
with an excellent Aircraft in Proile that I
hope all will enjoy. Now…. Where can I get
an S-199 conversion…..
