O
ne of the things we like to
do on occasions here at SMMI
is to bring you some bigger
features, and this month.
I am pleased to bring you not one, but two
superb seven and eight-page build projects.
First, we have Matt Edward’s stunning step-
by-step 1:35 build of ‘Kurt Knispel’s King Tiger’,
shown in easy to follow stages, and described
in Matt’s usual informative style. Then we
have Huw Morgan’s wonderful 1:72 ‘Factory
Fresh’ diorama, featuring a Revell Jagdpanther
on a flatbed trailer, being towed to where
the action is by a WR3 60-C12 Locomotive.
Once again, the subject is another step-by-
step build, and one that I am sure you will
enjoy, both for the armoured vehicle and the
train that’s pulling it! Another big feature is
our regular ‘Tank World’ article, which this
month looks at the US M48 in the Vietnam
War, with a splendid ‘Playboy Patton’ build
from Bruno Capeller. Our own Robin Gilby
also weighs in with a couple of new
builds, namely a 1:35 Iraqi Jackson
and an IDF M50 Super Sherman. This
is complemented by a build of an
IDF Magach 7A, and I hope that both
of the latter projects will whet your
appetite for the new MA Publications
‘IDF Armour Modelling Book’ which is now
available, and details can be found elsewhere
in the magazine, and you can order your
copy at
www.modelaircraftmag.com.
So as we
continue to slowly ease our way through
the current pandemic, please stay safe, stay
strong, and as usual, all that remains for me
to say is...
Happy Modelling!
