Glue the panel onto the original plastic kit backing, previously sanded to remove details

The panels can be aged with any of
AMMO’s enamel or acrylic products for a
more realistic used appearance.

WELCOME TO
ISSUE 144
I
t’s often said that hobbies, as
with individuals, are not islands
and external events can have
a profound effect. Such is the
case as I write this editorial, in the
aftermath of HM Queen Elizabeth
II’s passing, having served the
UK as head of state for 70 years.
The
AMW
team extends its
heartfelt condolences to the
royal family, who bear not just
this loss but that of a much-
loved mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother. It’s perhaps
fitting from a hobby perspective
that a vehicle used by the-then
Princess Elizabeth during her
wartime service
has recently
been replicated in
scale form, allowing
modellers an
additional
opportunity to pay
respect to the late Queen
(see
AMW141
August 2022 issue).
One issue facing the wider
hobby is ongoing concern
over the price of kits, paints,
accessories and yes, magazines.
From a publishing perspective,
there have been big increases
in paper, distribution and utilities
costs, yet here at
AMW
we’re

striving to give you the best value
possible. This is our biggest issue
ever at 148 pages – including a
bumper 32-page free supplement
to mark the release of Airfix’s
latest 1/24 Superkit: a Supermarine
Spitfire Mk.IXc. Accompanying
the Spitfire are colour profiles
and a type history, while
we remain on that theme
courtesy of Revell’s 1/32
Iron Maiden-liveried Spitfire
Mk.II, plus background on
the song that inspired the kit.
You might have noticed the
hobby seems replete with new
toolings of late, and we’ve another
superb batch for you in this issue.
Eduard’s gorgeous 1/72 Avia S-199
Mezek is joined by a same-scale
SBD-3 Dauntless by Flyhawk,
while Ukrainian firm ICM’s 1/48
Gotha Go 242B marks a welcome
resumption of kits from that
manufacturer in the face of Russia’s
ongoing invasion. That’s not all,
though. Besides the latest news
and reviews, there’s a big feature
on Revell’s Platinum-Edition 1/350
Bism rck
and how to get the best
results from its myriad content.
I hope you enjoy this month’s
packed issue.
