All in the Details
W
elcome to another packed
issue of SMMI! This month I
am very pleased to be able
to bring you something
a little different in the shape of Lee Powell’s
‘River Patrol’ article, featuring the 1:35
Vietnam War ‘Pibber’, which Lee
has set in a small scene. Made
famous in the film ‘Apocalypse
Now’ were the most common
craft in the River Patrol
Force - Task Force 116 and
were used to stop and search
river traffic in areas such as
the Mekong Delta, the Rung
Sat Special Zone and the Saigon
River. They frequently became
involved in fire fights with enemy
soldiers on boats and on the shore and
were used to insert and extract Navy SEAL teams.
Also, this month we have two builds of recent
Zvezda kits, and I must say how impressed I am
with the quality and detail that Zvezda
are producing at the moment. A couple
of months ago Jezz Colman built their
SA-22 Anti-Aircraft Missile System, and
in this issue Jezz looks at their recent,
and highly detailed ZSU-23-4M ‘Shilka’
Anti-Aircraft Gun System in our ’Big
Build’ feature. Jezz will also be building
their latest Typhoon K Armoured Truck, and we
will be featuring that in a forthcoming issue. The
second Zvezda kit we have this month is their
Bumerang-BM Armoured Personnel Carrier,
which Robin Gilby has set into a Middle
Eastern scene. Also, this month Matt
Edwards treats us to another of
his interesting and immersive
step-by-step builds, as this
time he details the 1:35 AFV
Club Tiger 1 with transport
tracks. Snorre Sandviken also
completes his project of a
Flakpanzer Gepard on a tank
transporter, as he too details
the Faun SLT-56 Franziska
Tractor Unit in its NATO paint
scheme, and I am sure you will agree
with me that this has been a quite superb
project, and one that has certainly caught the eye.
So as we continue through these uncertain times,
with thankfully a chink of light at the end of what
has been a very long tunnel, all that
remains for me to say is…..
Stay Safe and Happy Modelling!
