Key Publishing titles. But I didn’t
think I’d also see it being sold
aboard the ferry between Malta
and Gozo. While I don’t exactly
sit in the office, white cat on lap,
planning world domination like
a Bond villain, I am conscious of
where around the globe
AMW
is sold because ultimately, the
magazine is a business venture
that must remain successful. We
excel as Europe’s biggest-selling
monthly, but I know we can’t
get
AMW
in every retail outlet
for various reasons. So, here’s a
timely reminder that subscribing
couldn’t be easier, reduces the
cover price and ensures a gift if
ordering a two-year sub’. What’s
not to like about that? Visit
www.airfixmodelworld.com for
further details.
Airfix Model World’s
success
has, though, meant that more
unscrupulous modellers have used
it as a cover to obtain free product
by masquerading as contributors
with the promise of editorial. The
upshot of this is that the supplier
in question is out of pocket, and
with no promotional coverage to
show for it. By contacting various
firms to offer more variety in
our
On the Shelf
reviews, we’ve
heard it’s not just
AMW’s
name
that’s being used, but also those
of our competitor titles. It’s a
sorry affair, and I’d like to say to all
manufacturers/retailers/importers
that if you are approached by
anyone other than Assistant
Editor Stu Fone, or I myself (or an
existing contributor under prior
arrangement) regarding
AMW,
please let us know.
Now, I’ve always been something
of a luddite with social media
(maybe it's my age!), but I do
recognise its considerable power
for promotion and reach, and with
that I’m delighted to announce
that
AMW’s
Facebook page has
now gained more than 10,000
‘likes’. It’s a milestone for us, so
thanks to all who take the time to
respond to our posts.
This month's expanded edition
offers a special three-build
Tiger supplement. The appeal of
vehicles from this family is ever
enduring, and it seems there’s
always another avenue to take
kit-wise...editing the builds has
already given me new ideas.
Enjoy the issue.
I
hope you’ve had a great
summer and found inspiration in
AMW
for your build projects.
My own family holiday provided
a pleasing and unexpected
example of
Airfix Model World’s
reach in the market place.
I’d seen
