Valiant effort by Airfix!
Vickers Valiant and Supermarine Seafire – 2 in 2 days!
You really can’t ask for more, well can you? Both of these kits arrived with the last 4 days and now both have full, in-depth Here Now reviews in SMN – that, my good friends is just one example of exactly what a subscription to SMN brings you – new product reviews earlier than anyone else – certainly many weeks before most paper magazines. I want to make sure that where we possibly can, especially with important new releases like these, you are the first to see exactly what’s on offer through an unbiased, objective approach that is the hallmark of SMN.
Ok just for comparison, what do you get with an in-box review like the one I have written for the Vickers Valiant?
- 27 images showing the parts in close up, decals, instructions
- 1,006 word review
Hmmm, when did you last get that sort of coverage of any new kit in a paper magazine?
I hope that you enjoy my review, and, more importantly, the kit when you build it – I’ve had so many messages from people who have the kit on order and are grateful for the coverage we’ve given it, so…
Come on manufacturers
send us your new kits as soon as you can – your new kits and accessories deserve proper, full coverage in the scale modelling press and nobody can provide you with a better, more in-depth coverage and exposure that SMN – I eagerly await your new items!
Valiant starts in Build Now within the week
I’ve spoken to James V for an update and he’s already finished the cockpit and is looking to get me the first instalment by the end of this week – as soon as it comes in It’ll go live, so you shouldn’t have long to wait guys – boy, these are exciting times!
SMNs first newsletter
You will have had this by now – what do you think? Please let me know at: geoff@scalemodellingnow.com
I’ve already had a lot of positive comment and your thoughts and ideas are very welcome, so please keep them coming.
100 up!
I am really proud that we’ve done exactly what I promised a few weeks ago – we’ve reached 100 walkaround sets in your Photo Reference Library (PRL) – that’s 4,279 high resolution images covering numerous aircraft and armour real-life subjects.
All the images in the PRL have been shot with you the modeller in mind and specifically include all those areas we often to struggle to find good reference for like close ups of cockpits, hulls, cabins, wheel wells and so on – we do the best we can and have got some great partnerships with some of the best collections in the world, so plenty more to come in this area of your SMN – much, much more!
The PRL is a huge and fantastic resource that we can all be justly proud of and I want to thank all of you who have contributed in any way to this stunning resource. Thank you.
Set 100 – the Hawker Typhoon – check it out now…
Come and say hello – I’ll be there on the SMN stand…
Back very soon…
Best wishes
Geoff
