It is time to make some principal changes in the way of the magazine content. My initial idea was to make fusion of the modeling and historic content and this could hold on but I find that it is not good idea to display fresh released kits and to base some of the content on the latest kits released. Simply to say, there is no interest at all to follow industrial trends set up buy the manufacturers. New releases are based primary on the market analyze and manufacturers goals to make profit. Problem is that the sphere is more or less limited and due to the market area interest, considered options for new releases are limited. And future is that many interesting subject will not be produced in descent level.
Simply to say, we does not share the same view on the modeling (manufacturers and our magazine). If we continue to keep on the last releases of the mainstream manufacturers, we will be faced with limitations familiar with the review problems. Also this will raise problem with creativity as well anybody of us could give much more on any other build project. You have nice sample of what our friend work on early version of B-17 or also work on CW-21 from the same author. Simply following its own trends resulted in top output!!!
So I decide to drop idea of following main streams and from issue 03 start to follow our ideas and our interest, no matter is this commercial or not. Simply we will follow our harts and back to the core of the modeling. In this way we will open gate to many less seen but interesting project, we will see also some more resin or vacuum formed kits. Off course- we will not refuse offer to display new releases...
Naturally, I can not make this idea final so I need to hear what do you think and what is your opinion about this.
