flight1 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 In the world of declined model magazines i have just come across this new mag RC Scale International looks very interesting and I might give it a go. It is dedicated EXCLUSIVELY to prop driven scale models and scale gliders of all eras so if your into that it should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Curious and more curious. If you look on the website it is being run by two people trading as Radio Control Publishing Ltd. One is British and the other is Italian. However if you look here. **LINK** Then it appears to be owned by Sarik, but none of the names tie up at Companies House. I might have a look at it, but don't think I will be buying a subscription. I wonder how long before R/C Model World reappears under "different" owners.

Solly Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 A word of caution. This magazine was available around 2003-2004. I bought a subscription and after a few issues they closed down and I lost my money. A pity, it was a really good publication, I've still got a few old copies.

Cuban8 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 A brave move to produce a new modelling mag these days, very much my interest so I might give it a go if I see it in Sainsbury's mag section. No way would I take any subscriptions now , modelling or others. BTW - I noticed that the new BMFA publication is available on the website before being posted. Thought they waited a while before putting it on the archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with Sarik Hobbies, the two guys acquired RC Jet International from Traplet and the rights to this title were probably acquired at the same time. They have been quite successful with RC Jet International over the pass few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flight1 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 don't need to subscribe, can buy one at a time so I might either buy the current printed mag to see or give the digital version a go as I have RCME on a digital subscription which works ok.

Solly Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I've ordered the first one online, paid using PayPal. I'm glad to see it's free delivery (well, the price includes delivery!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wish them all the best in trying to make it succeed. So why did Sarik post that information ? I have my own thoughts and theories, but will keep them to myself as I have no "concrete" facts to back them up (currently). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The first magazine was good in my opinion. I enjoyed reading about Argyris's Ryan, which I had been following via the web. Time will tell if they can keep the content interesting. I believe our own Graham Kennedy has contributed a few articles. A brave venture in this day and age.

RottenRow Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have just ordered a copy of the first edition, it's certainly worth a look. I hadn't heard anything about the new mag. until I saw it on this forum so I wonder how they are going to get the message out there. The name and cover format is certainly the same as the 'old' Simon Delaney edited mag. which ran from 1997 to 2004. I hope the new publishers employ a proof reader so that there aren't the multiple spelling and grammatical errors that the only other currently available flying scale magazine consistently contains. I find that really annoying, as is the now frequent repetition of old articles and plans. I wonder when the first third generation repeat will appear... the puplishers are clearly keen on recycling! ? Good luck to the publishers of 'new' RCSI. I look forward to receiving and reading my copy. Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the case, but they did state categorically that it was them in the link. However, I received the magazine and read it cover, to cover. It is very glossy with lots of pictures. The quality of the content is good and certainly lives up to the title "International". I thought the emphasis to be a bit heavy on BIG models with lots of close up pictures, but it is early days. Hopefully they will eventually cover all aspects of scale R/C, including smaller and indoor models. It seems to be aimed at the younger modeller (nothing wrong with that) With possibly a slightly different slant on the building side (with lots of pictures). It will be interesting to see what our "colonial cousins" and the rest of the World think of it. I look forward to the next issue. Oh, and did I mention there were lots of pictures ? ? Just looked at the new emojis. Good grief !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I did thumb through a copy of the new mag and it's nicely produced with content that interests me. However, I can find all that and more online and much wider in scope. Depends if you prefer hard copy l suppose, and find the five quid or whatever it might be to be worth it.

Quote Radio Control Publishing Ltd is proud to announce the launch of their new magazine, Radio Control Scale International, It's simply Sarik passing on the fact that a new publisher (Radio Control Publishing Ltd, which has nothing to do with Sarik) has taken over the rights to RCJI and RCSI. Colin and Marco have are doing this on their own under a new Anglo/Italian company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I saw that post you quoted and agree. However my original link to a posting that was made earlier no longer works. When I find it again I will post it again for you. That is unless the original announcement has been deleted. It doesn't matter as it is all history now anyway. I just hope that the new company (and its owners) are able to survive in these difficult times and that the magazine flourishes, so that we can all benefit.

Al Knights Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Can't see why some of you are concerned about the ownership etc. I use to subscribe to the old Sale International and enjoyed it learning too. I've subscribed to the new one and recently received the latest copy. Personally I'm glad it's back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil McCavity Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I received a message from them informing me that the next edition was available so I bought it. No concern from me at present and hope it goes well for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
