I wanted to take this opportunity to compliment FSM on a very good issue of the magazine. For the first time in quite a while several elements of this issue stand out as extremely informative.
The cover story, "Make Your Own Canopies" while somewhat limited in scope, was very well presented and provides the new or intermediate modeler with a sound starting point for vacuforming plastic parts. A well done to Joel Hamm!
As usual, the annual rundown of the "Reader's Choice" awards is well done and presented a couple surprises...at least to me. The "Workbench Reviews" are very good - particularly the AFV Club SdKfz 251 Ausf D with PaK 40 limited edition kit. (However, the "AVF Club" error at the start of the article was a bit disconcerting...dyslexia strikes again).
However, probably the best piece of information that I garnered from this issue was the short tidbit in the "Reader Tips" entitled "Sprue Alternative". This is one piece of information that I will definitely file away for future use. Thanks to David Raatz for including this item in the column.
Kudos on a fine issue to all...
