If you're interest is aircraft, Scale Aviation Modeller is an excellent publication.

thank you for the replies.

I bought a few different mags at a local book store to check them out: Scale Aviation Modeller International, Tamiya Model International,  and Military Aircraft Monthly. I would say, along with FSM, the Scale Aviation Modeller was my favorite. The Military Aircraft Monthly was great in that it had lots of technical info about the real aircraft, but I think I would only by certain issues that had a focus on a certain airplane....

Tamiya was just way too biased---All Tamiya products!! plus the articles were kinda light, and I liked FSMs formatting better.

I guess you can be biased if you publish your own magazine. Can't fully knock Tamiya though, they make great products.
