SUBSCRIPTION (postage included): 1 year (4 issues) €50 Euro SALE BY ISSUE €10,50 Euro + €3 Euro (postage) Braille scale (1/72 – 1/87) military modeling is enjoying a resurgence here in the US mainly due to some great new kits by manufacturers such as Revell of Germany, Trumpeter, Dragon, Roden and others. However, in Europe, these scales have never gone out of favor. I started building in this scale back in the early 70’s when all you could get were Airfix, Nichimo, Hasegawa, and Entex with the odd Fujimi kit thrown in. Then I moved to 35th scale but now that I am older, I have moved back to this scale to keep most of my collection in the same scale. This magazine is produced quarterly in France and shows what can be done with models in this scale. Each article is documented in both French and English. I can’t vouch for how good the French is (took German in High School) but they did a pretty good job with the English portion. Ok, it isn’t perfect but just a few words misspelled and some words hyphenated in the wrong place. Included in this issue:
The magazine also includes a ‘New Releases’ section with pictures of 70 new kits. This is a great magazine for those of us who build in these scales and the historical pieces can be used by builders of any scale. You can even see every article of this magazine at the Minitracks website (but you can’t read it). http://perso.wanadoo.fr/minitracks/n12.htm My thanks to Minitracks for this copy. |
