Hey Hans

Just a couple of thoughts:

First, in the June 2011 issue of Model Military International, there is an article very similar to the one you desire to write - the author demonstrates how to improve a kit out-of-the box with some basic techniques without aftermarket. So, I definately think there is a 'market' for what you are suggesting.

Second, allow me to offer an immodest proposal: you laid the groundwork for the "Monogram Mafia Two" group build, but it has languished, unattended, for weeks. I would think that a Monogram kit would be a perfect one to demonstrate some of your techniques and the popularity of this particular subject would give you a pretty attentive audience. It would serve to kill two birds with one stone, as it were - it would get the GB you planned to host off the ground and it will give you an arena to start showing off you mad skills.

Here's another request for your article, Hans! In my modeling, I use both aftermarket and scratchbuilt items as I go along.
