Feature Article with Calum Gibson

Intro from Geoff C…
So pleased to welcome Calum to SMN and his first and excellent contribution of his Tamiya M1A2 Abrams U.S. MBT. I’m especially pleased because his project is in 1:48 scale, one scale that I have been keen to feature many more projects of in SMN and that’s the plan Calum and anyone one else out there – please do consider contributing one or more of your projects – we’d all love to see them!
