| Subject: | Military In Scale, September 2001 |  |

Military In Scale is a British magazine dedicated to armour/military
vehicles modelling and military aircraft modelling.
In this issue you'll find the following armour related articles :
A 4 page 1/35 diorama article by Michael Tooth. Entitled "Winter Break"
it has a Dragon StuG III Ausf F, Esci horse drawn wagon and some figures
in a winter setting. Must be quite good but unfortunately the
photographs look terrible (the white snow must have thrown the settings
off at some stage, either initial photos or scanning).
A 5 page 1/35 diorama article by Gary Edmunson with an Italeri Opel
Blitz Eineheitskoffer truck superdetailed with two Verlinden sets and
the Dragon German field radio set to make a radio vehicle. Excellent job
a bit let down by so/so painted figures (OK mine are worse...) and
unrealistic lichen in the diorama.
A 4 page article 1/35 diorama article on a "classic" (sic) diorama John
Hunter built many many moons ago with a destroyed Elefant, why did they
put that in I wonder, to make us feel 15 years younger I guess...
A 5 page 1/35 diorama article by John Murphy "Iwo Jima". This author
routinely sells the same article to several magazines at once so you
might have seen that one in Steelmasters and maybe elsewhere, it has a
Tamiya Type 97 and a Tamiya M4A3.
Last but not least a 1/35 construction article by Jon Feenstra on
building the Arsenal BRDM-1 kit.
I like his articles because "he tells it like it is" which is refreshing
for a change... He reports all his fixes and additions to the basic kit,
describing in passing the faults of both the kit and the Eduard set
designed for it. This kit incidently must truly be a beast to build
because a friend of mine threw his away (a guy who has built awful resin
kits like Verlinden's 120mm StuG III!). Jon painted his model in an
attractive Czekoslovakia invasion scheme and his model is shown as if it
had just exited water, with two figures on a small vignette. If you plan
to get your BRDM-1 kit built I strongly recommend you get your hands on
this article.
Plus the usual departments, new releases, book reviews, etc...
Overall not a very good issue, UNLESS you plan to build that BRDM...
Cheers,
Christophe |
