Global Scale Modeller

Hi guys just thought id post and see who buys the airfix monthly magazine and what people think about it??

I get on download for the iPad. I like it, but just been informed that they're putting the subscription price up to £34.99 a year. Don't know if I'll carry on as I get the Tamiya magazine and SMI. I like it though, they do have good articles and I am an Airfix club member....

i got it from the very start, then stopped for no particular reason other than struggling for time to read them

I only buy it now and then

I am not subscribed, but I do buy it on occasion. I quite like the fact that although its produced by Airfix, its not just a catalogue of their own products, and the build reviews etc cover all sorts of model types and manufacturers. Unlike say White Dwarf by Games Workshop, which is just an expensive, glossy monthly catalogue of their own products.

Sweet! I just checked this and it is Pound 33.00 after conversion from US$. Sorry my American keyboard does not have the pound symbol Might give this a look. I do like the Tamiya magazine too but Airfix has a special place in my heart having grown up with them - even if I could never afford anything. lol

Thanks for the tip about getting this on the iPad Lee. Just downloaded my free sample issue. Will check it out on my next meeting/call at work

Cheers
Jim

Yeah they do put different products in there which is good

The Tamiya magazine is the same and tbh, I prefer Tamiya to Airfix, don't know why, just do!

to be honest i didnt actually know that tamiya did a magazine lol

The tamiya mag is really good they Do a couple if I remember correctly.

If you an armour guy AFV Mag is the one to get.

Yep, they do Tamiya Model mag and Military Model Mag. Both very good and my fav mags....

I do aircraft mainly but videos ive seen lately do fancy doing some tanks and stuff

On subscription from day one, no problems as for me it covers various models, types and makes, for me I have picked up a few hints and tips so I look forward to the beginning of every month, I also subscribe to SAM which also has a lot of info which I have used
To be fair the information can be got from the Internet and YouTube etc but I like a read in the place in the home where you can't really take your ipad etc... Say no more

yeh I buy it now and then depends on what is in it but its a good mag anyway
