WAS LOOKING OUT OF
THE WIDOW OF THE
EDITORIAL OFFICE THE
OTHER DAY, WATCHING
the typical British summer rain
bouncing off the road and
listening to the strains of Don
Henley’s ‘Boys of Summer’ belting
out of the radio. For us modellers,
summer can be a frustrating time,
as the longer daylight hours open
up all kinds of possibilities and
requirements to tackle projects that are
unrelated to sticking pieces of plastic together.
Yet we bear this burden in the sure and certain
knowledge that with the coming of autumn,
soon the evenings will draw in and, well what
else can you do but enjoy your hobby in
relative peace and contentment!
In this packed issue of SMMI, we are
pleased to welcome Albion Hobbies into our
pages and their sponsorship of our ‘Dio-
Armour’ section, and we look forward to
featuring their Mr Hobby paints, as well as
their range of tools and accessories. We also
welcome back Elco Elings from the Modellers
Social Cub, with his excellent Tamiya
Sd.Kfz.171 Ausf G, in the markings of the
Hermann Goring Division, Berlin 1945. Jason
Yu also brings another of his superb builds,
and this time he converts the 1:35 Tamiya
M1046 with the Legend
Productions Special
Forces Kit. We are
also privileged to
have master figure
SMMI CHOICE
painter Toshihiro
our advice on
Sano paints one of

the latest Alpine

Miniatures 1:16
offerings of a German
WSS Tanker, and our Scale
Manual features another
incomparable build from Ivan Momcilovic.
Also of note this month is that Ian Young has
joined the SMMI team, and he will be
providing some full sized reference material to
go alongside a number of builds over the
coming months. This time he has some
welcome images of the WMIK, which you will
find invaluable if you are building the
HobbyBoss kit. Ian is a former editor of
‘Classic Military Vehicles’ so he knows his
stuff!
So, once again we have a packed issue,
which I hope you enjoy!
Happy Modelling
