Martin @ RAM Models Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hello all. I am looking to get our growing product range known outside the UK. If I am honest my reading material has always been somewhat UK based. As a result while I am aware which modelling magazines are available in the UK I know little about what is available outside our happy little island. Can anyone advise me of modelling magazines from other countries around the globe. I am particularly interested in magazines which have sections where they review new products. Any help that you guys can offer would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks in advance Regards Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi Martin, I've recently returned from a month's holidaying around the Far East and I noticed that there were quite a few British and European magazines on sale in the, many, model shops I visited. Obviously there were many more Chinese and Japanese magazines on sale but the only one's that I can remember at the moment are Model Graphix and Model Art. In Europe I think there are Euromodelisimo and Modelar. The US has a good magazine; Finescale Modeler Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Wingmasters in France is one of the best, if not the best, aviation modelling magazine in the world... http://www.histoireetcollections.com/en/99-wingmasters And Steelmasters is their military modelling title: http://www.histoireetcollections.com/en/85-steelmasters bestest, M.

Martin @ RAM Models Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Many thanks to each of you for taking the time to help with my question. Been serious though it really is hugely appreciated and has given me a start. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The US has little indigenous material - the only mainstream rag is Fine Scale Modeler. All the big Brit mags are readily available in most good book stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 In Italy we have Sky Model, the publisher link is here: http://www.aurigapublishing.it/index_en.asp There's also an English language issue, even if I believe you'd be interested more in the Italian version for your products. Haven't bought an issue in a while, however they used to have a review section, I believe this is still there. In any case, I can have a look the next time I'm at a newsagent and let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Wingmasters in France is one of the best, if not the best, aviation modelling magazine in the world... Well, far from it, in my opinion, for various reasons. On the opposite, Steel Masters is rising again, thanks to the efforts of a new chief redactor. But there are bad news coming from the editor. Wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Indeed... my modelling interests have drifted away from 1/48 aircraft, so I don't buy it very often these days, but a few years ago I was very impressed. It's got thinner, but the mix of model-building, history and marking schemes still seems as good as ever, and the "hors-series" issues are comprehensive and well-produced... I'm intrigued to know what makes you say "far from it"...? bestest, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markp58 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Martin, please contact me off post [email protected]. I have spent an entire 40 year working life in print media including this industry since 1998. I can reassure you that I do not have a commercial interest in any magazine titles and can give you an independent overview of what is out there from a media buyers point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to put the last issues of those mags in front of you, you'll clearly see that WM is a spent design, that is 20 years behind today's SM. Beside, I consider WM to be just an expensive model show, less the possibility to discuss with the authors. On the other way, you can learn reading WM.

tempestfan Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Germany has Modell Fan. It's the oldest surviving mag (now 41 years old), but I stopped buying it when I strtaed to work and got more involved in collecting rather than building. "They" fairly recently changed publishers, and I can't advise on their current concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
