Second edition although it's a 1990 publication run that I bought. Will be trying to scan a few of the drawings to use as information for a few builds I think.

I got 3 books last Wednesday which normally I don't buy but at 3 bucks for 2 of them I thought why not ?

Model railways from 1991 by Cyril J Freezer. Yeah I don't do rail way things but this has some great stuff diorama wise and old school tricks ..quite a cool read.

Advanced model railways from 1993 by Dave Lowery..same reason as above ^  ;D

Modern tanks and AFVs 1991 to present from 2021 by Russell and Stephen Hart...a pretty up to date book with some nice Arab designs I've never seen before ..quite a informative book....this was only a $20 note and well worth it.
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

That Cyril J Freezer book has been the British model railway 'Bible' for ages, and it's very good indeed. An excellent find there.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Cheers Kit..it's a bloody good book...condition isn't top notch but for 2 bucks it's more than good enough.  ;D
On pages 64 and 65 theres this amazing bridge and it's superbly built as is everything around it..I do wonder how it would look in 35th scale  :wacko:

I picked up the latest copy of SAM to see the second part of the F-111 in RAF service article and to find out what happens next in the Cuban Missile Crisis - no spoilers please!  ;) 

Lovely read on the first few pages but then they've obviously had a printing error. They managed to print page 30 on what should have been page 26.  :banghead:
I shall be writing to the editor...

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That could be the printers fault, but not necessarily

I emailed him this afternoon and he very kindly sent a pdf of the missing page within 10 minutes  :thumbsup:
He is hoping for extra space in a future issue to reprint it. Says there was 'a bit of a mess-up after passing the file back to the office'.
