FSM Special issue
Posted by John Lyle on Thursday, November 21, 2013 1:47 PM

I just received my FSM special issue yesterday. I was very pleased to see a reprint of two articles on building a 1/35 scale Canadian LAV III diorama. I have the original two issues the articles were in but it is nice to get them both together in one publication.

 Another article I found interesting is the one on the type XXIII U-boat. If I ever decide to buy the 1/35 scale type XXIII U-boat (Bronco? Trumpeter?) I will use that article to help in it's build.

This is one of those issues that I will save as I have two Canadian LAV III kits on my shelf. Hopefully I will get around to building them sometime. At least I am not as bad as my brother, I only have 43 kits in my kit collection 70% of them are Canadian Armour), he has over 500 (planes, armour, ships).  

Winters may be cold in Canada but at least there are no mosquitoes or blackflies

I think you should be able to back order the missing issue via the website.

A few years ago I went through my collection and backordered about 10 issues i'd failed to collect over the past 8 years - it's great that you can simply order them online.

I am not sure Chris

I haven't looked in the book stores to see if it is for sale there. This might be available to subscribers only as the issues that are special that are sold on the newstands usually have to be ordered by subscribers.

If you can get it I recommend it.

Cheers

John
