For those who canceled their subscription to SA/Fine Scale Modeler, be glad you did. Just got what sounds like my last issue of FSM....
ONE article on painting techniques of a Revell AAR Barracuda
Shows a pic HEMI valve covers and explaining that one needs to scrape the chrome off where the valve covers are attached to the engine. BUT they did not use those valve covers! As the valve covers used are not chromed, but pained to match the engine.....dud bit wire or plumb the engine....basically built right out of the box...
It is the only article concerning cars..
Are only TEN articles on military themed projects....!
Of 4 pages of new products. there are only TWO 1/24th scale cars shown: One from Italeri and the other from Airfix...
No ads from Round2/AMT or Revell.....
Wonder if R2 felt that taking out a full page ad like they did with SA was no longer warranted....
Only one car kit reviewed, that being a Lancia Delta Sf '86 San Remo Rally, manufactured by NuNu, nunumodelkit.com
So, needless to say the 2 or 3 FSM mags I got as the tail end of my SA subscription did NOT warrant re-subscribing!
For me to even think about subscribing to FSM, they are going to have t show me that they do 50/50 split of FSM/SA on kit reviews, announcements and aritcles....which we all know will NOT happen.....and even then, it would be a hard sell for me to subscribe to FSM...
My opinions only....
