hile we are still obliged to update our
plans on a week by week basis it is
impossible to say with any certainty
when we will next be able to attend a good old-
fashioned model show. I have missed these
events considerably, and our plans looking
ahead are to up our attendance in future, with a
dream-team of C.F. Pickett and myself going
forth to as many shows as possible to meet the
readership, press the
flesh
(once that is
permissible again), and remind everyone that a
subscription to any or all of our titles would be a
thing of immeasurable benefit. I am gratified at
how many new subscribers have come on board
in recent months, and while this may to some
extent be a logical step under lockdown, the fact
remains that all our issues have been available in
the shops, and delivered to subscribers on time
throughout the last twelve months of
uncertainty. This is, of course, no thanks to the
Editor, who has little or no input where
distribution is concerned, but to the efforts of
those in the office working to ensure that
commitments are honoured. With a growing
portfolio of titles now, as well as our books, it’s a
lot of work and organisation each month but it’s
getting done with a minimum of fuss and I count
my blessings that our efforts here on the
editorial side are backed up with such an
efficient and dedicated infrastructure.
Fortunately we are not the only ones
weathering the storm. Kits are still being
planned and produced, accessories, books,
decals – there seems to have been no let-up in
the industry in spite of it all, and while I still
await the promised 1/32 Blackburn Skua, my
world has been gently rocked this week by the
announcement of a new tool Fiat G.91 in 1/48
from Kinetic, and all of a sudden I
find
myself
looking at the untidy pile of half-built inter-war
naval aircraft on my workbench (my current
attempt to complete the FROG Blackburn Shark)
and thinking how nice it would be not to have to
scratchbuild a cockpit, plunge mould a
windscreen, or
fill
panel lines with a trowel. The
Italeri/Esci tool has of course been around for
years but has raised panel lines, which I simply
can’t make work, but the G.91 is one of my all-
time favourite aircraft, and the prospect of
multiple boxings of the small but perfectly-
formed ‘Gina’ has whetted my appetite and only
the knowledge that it is not now due until 2022
has prevented me from sweeping all aside in its
favour.
For the time being I shall only dream of Gina,
but I shall take some small but spiteful comfort
in the knowledge that Colin ‘Flying’ Pickett won’t
have time to build it either, as he’s far too busy
making trucks these days.
