Which store has a regular stock of these? Kahit na yung back copy na. Minsan nakakabili ako sa UM Mall (near La Salle) at La Salle bookstore but that's a very rare occation. Nagtitingin din ako sa Harrison Plaza at Sm Southmall pero napakabihira ng ganito. Any shops you know?

Some Magazine Stands have current and up-to-date issues of these -- the magazine stand in Glorietta by the side of Filbars had some, last time I passed by, plus the one in the movie theatres in Glorietta 4 had a bunch last I was there, too. Come to think of it, I think you'd have better chances of spotting these magazines at magazine stands, than bookstores. Although, yeah some bookstores do have a copy or two of a back-issue. I remember getting a couple of Scale Auto Magazine at the DLSU-Sports Complex Bookstore and some FSM issues at some Booksale branches.

Pinaka marami pa ren akong nakitang ganyan sa Makati Cinema Square(MCS), the magazine stall out front, near KFC has a couple of Scale AC mags and Scale Auto Magazine issues. Plus Hobbies and Comics in MCS also has some Verlinden and a whole lot of other Hobby-BOOKS in stock -- although they do go for quite a hefty amount of cash, last I was there tag-800 ata isa. STC ren in Virra Mall, meron catalogs and Hobby-Books.

I won't be surprised if the bookstores/stalls/banketa-stalls in Quiapo have these.

SR: I have a regular subscription to FSM. Is there a particular article you're looking for? And Jomz is right about STC. Their Concord line of references is quite extensive. And since he did not change the prices of most of the books(which is rare), they're actually cheap already based on today's exchange rates. You might want to check them out.

Actually, no particular one. I buy which interest me and related to my kit. I remember I bought one issue which talks about weathering AC and perfect to use since I'm doing my F-22 back then. I also got the one which talks about weathering tanks/ adding armor -- good for weathering my T-72.

BTW, do you have any article which talks about Desert Storm and/or Iraqi Freedom/detailing figs/groundworks for desert landscapes? I need more info regarding those. Thanks!

I usually buy my FSM in Buffini in Glorietta near the escalator going to Landmark. The problem is that it costs higher there than in other magazine stands. The other magazine stores such as CA.Com, Goodwill, etc. also carry the magazine but on a limited supply.

Thanks dude! E-mail it to [email protected]

Anybody got some internal shots of the Sea Harrier FRS-1? I need pics on the cockpit (actually, I have lots but I want to compare since some cockpits are different), engine interior (not just the fan), and landing gears interior. I'm sure some mags have those. I can't seem to find those pics except ofcourse the cockpit.

I forgot, I just bought a book in Goodwill Makati, its titled 'German Campaigns of WWII". Its cost is PhP 795.00, lots of pictures and stories about the title. I'm not sure if its an old issue or a new one, but the copyright is 2001.

Anyone of you can help me find "Aircraft Illustrated", April Issue? So far naghahanap ako kung saan saan eh kaso lang di ko rin alam kung anong itsura nito. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
