Aerospace Modeler Magazine is moving forward!

UPDATE
(rev 3 March 2009)

For those who've been keeping up with the soap opera here, my divorce was final on 20 February 2009. Rookie Aerospace and AMM survived the settlement intact, and we're pressing forward on several fronts.

• AMM 10 is in lay-up now, and although I can't make any promises at this point, we hope to send it to the printer around the first of April.
• We've retained Jerry and Shari Voigt at Zero to Sixty Marketing through 2009, and we've set a goal of getting 4 issues out in 2009.
• We're developing several new products associated with some of our popular feature articles. These include resin replacement parts for several subjects and decals to go with them.
• We continue to stay caught up on back issue orders.
• We're planning to attend the 2009 IPMS/USA Convention in Columbus OH.

Like previous issues, AMM #10 will have some blockbuster features:

• VLR Mustangs on Iwo Jima (several models by multiple authors)
• B-52D conversion in 1/144 scale by Carl Knable
• Lockheed Model 10 Electra from Frank Cuden
• Plus the usual high-value-added reviews of top-quality books, kits, and other stuff you need to enjoy your hobby and develop your craft

The B-52D and Electra articles include photo essays on the real planes to help you get the details right. We encountered some irresolvable technical difficulties putting B-50 Part 2 (SAC users) together, and it will be deferred until a later issue in 2009. C-54 Part 2 will also be ready sometime in 2009.

Until we ship AMM 10 to distributors, retailers, and current subscribers, all new subscriptions will begin with AMM #10. You can still get AMM #9 and all previous numbers as back issues.

Thank you again for your patience, encouragement, and support. See you at the Nats!

Our commitment is simple:

• AMM gives scale air and space model builders more value – more useful information per page and per issue for the same or less money -- than any other modeling magazine you can buy.
• The best authors and builders in the world will give you extensive in-progress photo coverage to show you HOW it was done as well as WHAT was done.
• You get the same high production values (large photos, heavy paper cover, glossy pages) seen in the best European model magazines.

We back that commitment up: If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll refund the balance of your subscription, including the last issue mailed to you.
