Our Journey Continues
A
s we continue this journey
through the Coronavirus,
we are all preparing to live
in what has been described
as a ‘new normal’. One of the things that has
come out of this crisis is, as I have alluded to
previously, the upturn in interest in plastic
modelling, and to that end for those of an
armour persuasion, Scale Military
Modeller continues in our aim
to bring you news of the latest
kit, decal and accessory
products to hit the market,
some informative and
inspiring model builds and
valuable reference features
to help you get the most from this
hobby we love so much - whether you
are new to armour and figures, a returning
modeller who has rediscovered the art, or
a regular plastic sticking aficionado! One
of the many fascinating aspects of armour
modelling is the eclectic mix of
combat types used by the Israeli
army. Kit and conversion sets
abound for these vehicles, and they
have been regularly featured in
our pages. Indeed, this month we
have an M-50 Super Sherman and
a Nagmachon to bring you, the latter being
one of the more unusual vehicles used by
the IDF with its ‘doghouse’ superstructure.
Now, if you are interested in building such
vehicles, then we have a new SMMI Special
book in progress ‘IDF Armour Modelling –
Fighting Vehicles of the Israeli Army’ which
features some twenty-five build projects,
from APC’s, Main Battle Tanks
to Engineering vehicles. For
more information, then go to
www.modelaircraftmag.com
and click on the ‘Bookstore’ link!
Elsewhere this month we have
another superb Tiger feature
from Matt Edwards, and Elco
Ellings brings another imaginative
diorama, with his Hetzer based ‘Kurland
Kessel Entrapment’ piece. Also look out for
another unusual inclusion from Tom Primett
with his World War One removals truck build.
So as always, I hope you enjoy all we have to
offer this time, and all that remains
for me to say is…..
Stay safe and happy modelling!
