David Ashby - Moderator Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Although this issue is scheduled to hit the shops 17th Dec - the snow caused some delays during production so it might be worth allowing a couple of extra days before trotting down to the shop As always we welcome thoughts and feedback - remember the new forum section in case you want to leave any feedback about this month''s review models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Still nothing through the letterbox, I guess 'allowing a couple of days' may need to be stretched a fair bit with the weather, even for subscriptions deliveries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Ireland Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I won't get mine till I get back onshore on the 30th (weather permitting) and am trying hard to resist reading it online! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytilbroke Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Wifey tells me today, the January edition is on the shelf at WHSmith. Nowt by Royal Mail. Must be the wrong kind of snow for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i12fly Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 It's here in the local newsagent in Derbyshire but not through the letterbox. Royal Mail have no excuses here as they're bringing me junk mail and bills. There's been no snow here to mean anything for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytilbroke Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 David did say production held up..... yet WHSmith can get it even in the Highlands before Royal Mail? Methinks Royal Mail has the delay not the production problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanN Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Mine came Friday. Just as well, considering the shedload of snow we got this (Saturday) morning. Plenty in this issue for "proper" builders and tinkerers. TN on glassing, Brian Winch entertaining and informative as always. And on the other side of the coin, the ARTFs reviewed both seem more than competent - very desireable and undoubtedly good value, if your pockets stretch that far. And one day Pete Lowe might just write an article without finding it obligatory to mention Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Davis Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I bought a copy at Whitchurch Models yesterday. I had driven there to pick up a pair of second-hand floats so that I could maiden the Barn Door Wing Senior Telemaster off snow! However, equipping the model with floats won't be too much of a problem, the difficulty will driving to the flying field. I've had a DB SE5 kit for years. Never started it of course.....

Tim Hooper Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Posted by IanN on 18/12/2010 23:45:29: And one day Pete Lowe might just write an article without finding it obligatory to mention Janet I've not received my copy yet, but I'm wondering about your comment. As some of you know, I do my modelling in partnership with my partner, Netty, and I sometimes wonder just how many 'personal' references to put into an article as regards a relationship which is integral to my hobby. The fact that Pete Lowes better 'alf is involved surely must be applauded, and to mention it within the context of a magazine article can only be a good thing, surely? tim Edited By Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 19/12/2010 23:54:25Edited By Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 19/12/2010 23:58:20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Pete Lowes better 'alf is involved surely must be applauded, tim Absolutely. Thats a fine and enviable thing and I'm 100% most definitely not knocking it . I just find the constant repetition of the fact a little bit o.t.t., on those occasions when it doesn't add to the modelling content - as it didn't, on this occasion. Purely my personal preference. Others will, I'm sure, no doubt hold the opposite view which is of course equally valid. That said, I did find some of the content of his earlier articles (of the "hair blowing in the slipstream" type) a bit cheesy. Not knocking PL. Other than this very minor gripe his subject matter usually puts his articles amongst my favourites and I always look forwards to them Edited By Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 19/12/2010 23:55:42 Edited By David Ashby - RCME Administrator on 20/12/2010 07:20:40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James40 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Nothing in through my letter box but the fact that I can't even get off the drive means it can't get up it either.

hotspur Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Surprise, surprise. Plenty of junk and bills, but no RCME through my letterbox. Postman says he delivers all in his box . Sorting office say all cleared by them. Just have to get one from the newsagent then. Never mind, it's all going to be privatised soon. Strange though that Giant Cod stuff comes the next day !
