WELCOME TO
ISSUE 127
so I’ll definitely be taking the
opportunity to visit and support
my local retailers. Best of all, I’ll
have the added opportunity of
being able to browse the shelves
for the first time in many months!
Turning to this issue, our cover
star is Airfix’s re-released 1/48
Blenheim Mk.I, which is the
subject of both build and history
features. We’ve also got great
previews of two very impressive
new offerings from Tamiya
and Hong Kong Models, in the
shape of a 1/48 F-4B Phantom
and Lancaster B.I kits – we’ll be
providing complete builds of
both of these in future issues.
Speaking of new toolings,
FineMolds’ gorgeous 1/72
F-4EJ Kai receives a weather-
worn appearance to replicate a
museum exhibit, while Tamiya’s
1/35 KV-1 forms the centrepiece
of a Battle of Leningrad-inspired
diorama. There’s more for armour
fans in the shape of Dragon’s
1/35 8.8cm Flak 37 anti-aircraft
gun. We also include a rare
airship, with Mark I Models’
perfectly formed 1/720 R33.
I hope you enjoy the issue.
Happy modelling!
f late, it seems that
each passing month
brings more positive
developments as
lockdown restrictions are
eased, and it’s heartening
to see the response to the
reopening of bricks-and-mortar
model shops in the UK.
I’m surely in the same position
as many modellers, with a
need to restock on items in
preparation for future builds,
