IPMS Stockholm Magazine - September Edition
September Magazine has been posted online today.
http://ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/
To me, the most prominent aspect of this update is the combined work of three aircraft modellers who's names should be familiar to our readers and which all have developed that unique capability of building models in quantity. Mark Davies in particular is celebrating the completion of his 100th model since resuming modelling nine years ago. Many of his models should be laready known from the ongoing series Mark's Model Plane Miscellany. Raul Hrubisko’s lifetime aim is modelling every kind of aircraft used by RAF, FAA and Commonwealth air forces during World War II timeframe, and his latest achievement is series of American aircraft in Fleet Air Arm service, 63 models in all. Last but not least, Rafi Ben-Shahar continues his Bang for the Buck series with no less than three Promodeler Bf-110s built in one go.
An interesting coincidence is that this trend for building models in collections is currently reflected also at The Spitfire Site - see my post on that site here.
Comparing such results with my own building pace - and I believe that many other could feel this way - may feel a bit overwhelming. Therefore it feels appropriate to point out once again that there are no rights or wrongs in modelling, and it is here that the last addition of September Magazine comes to play. Our new contributor Jesper Knutsson (welcome onboard, Jesper!) simply took the old Tamiya T-34 kit, had a lot of learning fun with it and then described his impressions. Invaluable.
