Stay on Track
I
know I have said this many times,
but once again I can hardly
believe we are approaching
the end of another year! And
what a year it has been! At this time, usually
I would have been reflecting on the Scale
Modelworld show, putting my aching feet
up and losing my voice from three days of
conversations! But as it turned out, SMW like
much of 2020 fell victim to the pandemic we
continue to live through, and the chance to see
friends both old and new, and marvel at the
landscape of modelling opportunities provided
by traders, clubs and the competition area has
been side-lined this time around. However, as
with most who attend this annual extravaganza
will no doubt echo, I look forward to the 2021
show in both hope and expectation.
This month once again we have an eclectic
mix of subjects to bring you, and once again
it’s great to have a contribution from someone
more akin to aircraft, as we have an excellent
build of the Copper State Models
‘Romfell Panzerwagen’ from Tim
Upson-Smith, better known for his
exploits in our sister magazine Scale
Aviation Modeller. But as you can see
from his build, he’s a pretty mean
armour modeler too! Elsewhere we
have another superb step-by-step
build from our own Matt Edwards with his
Kursk Assault Panther feature, and in our
‘Big Build’ this month Kevin Potts details the
1:35 Dragon T-34. In our diorama feature this
month Robin Gilby adds the 1:35 Tamiya Mk.5
Kuwaiti battle tank into a Gulf War scene,
and seasonal a cold weather vista this month
comes from Dawid Branski, with his Winter
Halftrack, which for this build he has posed
against a Coast Kits backdrop, but look out for
this to be added to a much bigger diorama
article in next month’s SMMI.
As this is the last issue of 2020, and we enter
the festive season, if you are looking for a gift
idea for someone, or just to drop a broad hint
as to something to put in your stocking, then
we have some excellent subscription offers
available, and plenty of books that would fit
the bill. You can find details on our website or
elsewhere in this issue. Can I also, on behalf of
MA Publications and all the SMMI team wish
you the compliments of the season and look
forward to your company again
in 2021. So, stay safe, stay on track
and…..
Happy Modelling!
