Ok so it's only a Zvezda Art of Tactic 1/72 Flak 38 single barrel with two crew but I was sorely tempted .Scale Military Modeller International isn't the flashiest/glossiest of mags but it's cheap enough relatively speaking (€6.38 in Easons Liffey Valley which had 4 in stock last night - 3 of which had the locating pegs on the diorama base broken -but I don't think it's a critical issue -strange design - tripod his holes in base which go over pegs -any other manufacturer would have the holes in the dio base )

Anyway if you take away the €4/4.50 value of kit it's a cheap mag .

I got a set of sanding pads free once On the cover of a sister magazine ( SAMI or Model Aircraft ) and they're the best thing ever ! Replace my Tamiya abrasives for 90% of usage .Dont leave 'flat spots ' as easily .

The Games Workshop magazine at €8 is some value if you're remotely interested in that genre .Twice the size of the deluxe 'square spined ' €10-12 traditional modelling mags .

Any decent articles in the mag John? that'd be the clincher for me. Very rarely buy magazines these days

To be honest I was so busy peering in through plastic of bag I hardly checked !

Looks like a better than average selection of articles to me .Pity the company has changed the 3 months plus one free subscription offer( which could regularly be combined with 20/25% off weekend offers !) to just 10% off .( Although they may have been losing money sending mags to us for barely €2-3 )

Gerry D has contributed a fair few build articles to their plane magazines
