ANDY EVANS,

elcome to the October SAMI, and
once again we have a packed issue
to bring you, with much I hope
to both inform and inspire. Our
cover feature this month is the incomparable
A-10 Warthog, one of my favourite aircraft, ably
brought to life with a stunning artwork from
Christian Zambruno. In scale, Huw Morgan has
done a superb job on the 1/72 Revell kit, and if you
are in the mood for building a Warthog yourself, or
just want to know more about the machine, then
we have an excellent book on the subject in our
Scale Down series, and you can find more details
in our Bookstore pages or on the MA Publications
website. The A-10 showed its prowess during
the Gulf War and beyond and certainly packs a
mighty punch with its array of weaponry and
the ability, with its Avenger cannon to ‘put the
hammer down’. Another more eclectic subject this
time is our look at Noy’s Miniatures IDF Aircraft
Shelter courtesy of Lee Powell’s 1/72 build. Also
keep an eye out for Rene Van Der Hart’s SAAB
Gripen and James Bamford’s colourful F-104J
‘Eiko’ using the Eduard kit. Last month we had a
Gloster Meteor feature on the cover, and we follow
that this month with another Meatbox variant
with the U-15 Drone in 1/72 scale using the MPM
offering and an Alleycat Conversion kit, and once
again Huw Morgan has done a splendid job here.
As many of us expected, and quite
understandably, the 2020 IPMS Scale Modelworld
has fallen victim to the Coronavirus. For many,
this is the highlight of the modelling year, and
the first time the show has not taken place since
its inaugural event in 1967. However, the better
news is that the 2021 show is planned for the
13th and 14th of November, and I am sure like
me you will look forward to that, conditions
again permitting! Personally, I have been going
to the annual IPMS show for more years than I
care to remember, when it used to be referred
to as ‘The Nationals’. I can’t actually recall if my
first visit was at Stoneleigh or Donnington, but
I do recollect they had a mock-up Red Arrows
Hawk T.1 in one of the halls! As I have said before,
it’s been an extraordinary year in many ways,
especially not being out and about at shows
with the MA stand, and Scale Modelworld
always seemed a pre-cursor to Christmas, so
it will also be a very strange November this
year! But we hope to be back on the road in
2021, both in the UK, the US and Europe.
So, with all that is going on in the
world, from all of us at SAMI, stay safe,
keep calm and happy modelling!
