Make Your Own High Quality
Photo-Etched Parts with the
Micro-Mark PRO-ETCH System!
Exclusive!
This is a true photo-resist metal etching system that employs
advanced technologies and materials previously available only
to industrial users. It uses your computer, an ink jet printer, and
materials included in the system to achieve incredibly fine results.
Virtually any small item that can be made from a flat piece of metal
can be created with the Pro-Etch System in a fraction of the time it
would take using other tools and methods (if it could be done at
all). You can even create sophisticated 3-dimensional objects with a
combination of careful design and folding of the flat photo-etched
pieces. In almost no time you'll be making precision metal parts
with fine-line details you never thought possible.

EDITOR’S PAGE
By Mark Savage
... and now a word
from our sponsor!
AT THE RISK
of sounding like
one of those frantic, screaming
TV pitchmen pushing Ginsu
knives or ShamWows, I’d like to
take a little commercial break
from my usual editor’s note.
Certainly we have another fine
issue of
FineScale Modeler
this
month. You’re holding it.
The magazine is packed with
how-to stories, finishing tips,
motivational photo galleries, loads
of new modeling products, and a
stellar collection of model reviews.
But again, at the risk of sound-
ing too self-serving,
FSM
has a lot
more to offer daily, weekly,
monthly … well, all the time.
Here’s the deal:
I encourage you to dig deeper
on our website when you’re watch-
ing the latest New Product
Rundown video or scanning sto-
ries you saw in our biweekly
e-mail newsletter.
I know the holidays are long
past, but
FSM
now has an online
hobby store to deliver a variety of
informational books, special-issue
magazines, back issues, download-
able PDFs, and even some 1/72
scale die-cast tanks and German
World War II aircraft.
Finding any, or all, is as easy as
clicking on the
Shop
button atop
the FineScale.com website and
then selecting
Scale Modeling.
I won’t shout it like a TV huck-
ster, because you already know
FSM
lives to help you better enjoy
your favorite hobby. All of our
products are designed to enhance
your knowledge and skills, same
as each issue of the magazine.
And the die-cast models?
They’re great gifts for your kids,
grandkids, or friends’ kids to stir
their interest in military models.
We trust you’ll follow up on
that by teaching them how to
build their own plastic model kits
after they play with the sturdy
die-cast versions.
Modeling starts with interest,
and interest starts with fun.
… We now return you to your
regularly scheduled modeling
magazine.
