I let my subscription die before the mag did. While there were some good articles, they had begun re-running stuff, posting pictures backwards and featuring some really poor models. They, Challenge Publications, had a similarly laid out aircraft magazine as well. It had the same fate as MM.

Military Modeler magazine ceased June 1994 Volume 21 # 6. The magazine continued combined with a name Scale Modeler & Military Modeler volume 29 # 7 in july 1994.
I have several years of issues, I would consider selling or trading any and all issues I have.
I have issues from 1975 to 1996. Complete years 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1992, 1994. Other years I have most issues in the year.
