Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone knew whether the well known British magzine Military Modelling was still in existence.
Can't seem to find it in any of the larger magazine chains or bookshops here in New Zealand and their website doesn't have anything new on it since the last time I visited over six months ago.

I do know that ownership changed hands about two years ago and that the magazine group that bought it has subsequently undergone **koff..** 'restructuring', but I kind of hope it hasn't turned belly up, shuffled off this mortal coil, cashed in it's chips and joined choir invisible...

Anyone..?

Hi Acav,

I seem to suffer the same problem as you... however it's not on the publisher side, it's on the local distribution side... here in SA (well the Western Cape, anyway) our local news agents aren't stocking modelling mags (except for the odd RC mag) any more...

If you're interested, MM can do internation subscriptions.... check out their website... Military Modelling

Thanks for the heads up, guys - guess I'll have to convince the Financial Controller that I need a sub as well as a new airbrush for xmas...

cheers

Their distribution had gotten a little eratic a few years ago. Any of my local hobby shops (Sweden) that carried it, were getting so much grief, they´ve actually stopped getting it in.

Find it's getting a little stale and seems to be quite cliquely ..some of the articles have run their course and need to be swapped over to something else
