Notes: Magazine, 66 pages, full color

I was quite impressed with the previous issue of this magazine and #90 only adds to that impression. This edition has all the usual kit and book and aftermarket set reviews that one expects from any model-related publication, paper or electronic.

There is also a superb article on building a diorama of a 1/48 Ju-52 during the Balkans campaign as it is loaded/off-loaded. It is on a snowy airfield and thanks to the variety of 1/48 military vehicles now available, it really stands out.

A super figure article on doing a 54mm Hopelite is provided near the back.

But the bulk of the magazine concentrates on the outstanding craftsmanship of one man and his very large scale ship models. These all seem to be plank on plank builds using prototype materials wherever possible. There are over 25 pages of superb photographs and I only wish I could read it to give you more information. It is truly inspirational.

Overall an excellent magazine and one that you should consider if you like a well done publication.
