I
often wonder how IPMS Scale
Modelworld manages to come
around so quickly! I mean it’s
been a whole year since the last
show, and yet here we are on the
verge of the 2019 event! It hardly
seems a moment since we packed
up the SAM stand and left the
Telford Exhibition Centre than
we are again putting together all
the necessary items for this year’s
model extravaganza! I am always
amazed when I see the halls
illed with modellers, viewing
what’s new on the various vendor
stands, looking for bargains to
be had and of course parting
with their hard-earned cash to
fulil another project, or to lay
something down for future use!
The Telford show also reinforces
the fact that this hobby, despite
the various economic constraints
we all live with, remains
vibrant and forward looking as
witnessed by the number of new
forthcoming kits that the various
manufacturers are producing for
our delectation. If you are coming
to this year’s show, please stop by
the SAM Publications stand and
have a chat, as it’s always good
to meet our readers and to hear
your views, both brickbats and
bouquets and of course to greet
friends both old and new. We are
also putting the inishing touches
to our plans for 2020 in terms of
magazine content and the new
books we will be bringing out, so
as they say, ‘watch this space’, as
we have some exciting projects
on the way! For this months
SAMI, well we really could not
have shoe-horned any more in!
David Francis and Tim Upson-
Smith are hot-foot from another
successful Eday, and you can read
all the highlights from there in
our unrivalled news pages! Our
leading feature this month is the
MiG-31 Foxhound, as Vini Pompeo
shows you how to build and paint
the 1/48 AMK kit, and elsewhere
Huw Morgan completes his Avro
Manchester story with the tale
of the ‘frictionless track’. So, I
hope you enjoy all we have for you
this time, and if you are going to
Telford – see you at the show!
