HE WORDS OF
ARNOLD
SCHWARZENEGGER
ARE ECHOING
around this issue of SMMI as we
have a build of one of the latest
pieces of Soviet hardware with a
build of the 1:35 Zvezda BMP
‘Terminator’ from Robin Gilby,
and some background references
from James Kinnear. So shades of
‘Hasta la Vista Baby’ to any
potential adversaries of this mean machine!
You really have to take your hats off to the
Russians with their vast array of modern heavy
armour, fire support and short and long-range
missile systems, many of which are arriving at
speed from many of our favourite
manufacturers. Although the endless variables
of World War II Tigers and Sherman’s et-al
continue to be kitted, its good to see so many
more modern subjects coming into the
manufacturers view.
Elsewhere this month we welcome two new
builders to the SMMI team, as Paul Hargett
brings his take on the 1:35 T-26, and Chris
McDowell builds the Mirror Models 1:35
Russian Komsomolets T-20 Armoured
Artillery Tractor. Elsewhere, Kevin Potts details
the 1:35 Dragon Jagdpanther Late Production
and Ivan Momcilovic brings another of his
superb builds, this time a
CT15A diorama, not
to be missed! Our
Scale Manual this
month looks at
SMMI CHOICE
captured T-34’s in
our advice on
German service
products
and Todd Michalak
at a glance
of the ‘Modellers
Social Club’ adds an
imaginative ‘Crushing Blow’
vignette to the mix!
So as always, SMMI gives you more than
any other military modelling title, and we have
plenty more to bring you in the coming
months! Also, as it is approaching ‘that time of
year’ again, a subscription would be an ideal
gift if ‘hints’ are dropped early, and often
enough!!
Happy Modelling
