It’s bound to impact the hobby in similar ways. In fact way back in the last century wasn’t there some crisis that hiked kit prices, especially Japanese ones now I think on it? I seem to recall much upset back then too
Anyone who lived through the Seventies will remember inflation, brought about by the 1973 Oil Crisis and fuelled by massive labour unrest. While the circumstances are different, we are seeing another large inflation event occurring and there's really not an awful lot we can do as individuals.
My stash will last me my lifetime, so I don't NEED to acquire more kits, although I would LIKE some. If I want something bad enough, I'll save and pay for it.

I think it's a good selection.
Their hands may well have been tied by the effects of the Pandemic and by the parent company's financial position, so I'm not too surprised by the relative lack of new moulds; I think we've been spoiled in recent years.

EDSG often shows up with a bluish hue in photos, but it really is a dark grey. As Andre says, you can't always trust Italeri's painting instructions. 😉

Just found this thread. I recently built the original HAS.2 boxing of this kit and it would seem that somewhere along the way, someone has swapped the Mk.8 kit out and put an HAS.2 kit in the box. Which is unfortunate if you were looking to do an 8. However, I see you also acquired the Modeldecal sheet for HAS.2, which is what I also did. The good news is that you can still build a very nice model from the kit - here's mine:

That's the one - I believe he was World Champion at the time. Pity he wasn't using smoke - this footage doesn't really give you the full perspective on how he was throwing it around.

For those curious, the next issues of both Phoenix Scale Publications titles will be available at WH Smiths on January 24th! There's a build of the Revell RazorCrest in PSM.

Or digitally, of course.

I presume 241 was the flying a/c and 234 was the static, as I only have static shots of 234:
What are the other a/c you need photos of? I may have something.

and as it is the contributors who make the content of the magazine, I'm glad to see their work.
And it is something the owners seem to have forgotten, or simply ignore. If contributions dry up because they aren't getting paid, there won't be magazines. There has been a long history of contributors (and editorial staff) not being paid by these and previous owners of the company, which is why there are so many disgruntled former contributors and editorial staff.

January 2022 issues of MAM and SAMI were in my local newsagent today , would not like to say for certain without wasting some of my life going back through old issues but some of the content seemed familiar but then again there is only so often you can cover an Su-27 , A-7 or whatever without raising memories of what has gone before somewhere or other.
I am told the January 2022 print issue of SAMi is identical to the June 2021 electronic issue.

Interesting that the photo accompanying the article is the TSR.2. But which scale will be re-released? And will they have fixed the trenches and poor fit?

Still mourning the non-release of the 1/48 Bell 206 in 2018, 2019, 2020......😢

What - are they releasing Model Tractor Monthly to rival Model Farmer Magazine? Part of their Five Year Plan, no doubt, comrade!

Well, a high-back Spit XIV in 1/48 would go down a treat as well, given the lack of a decent one! I was mildly disappointed that they did the low-back, but I was able to convert that to an XVIII so not all was lost.

I especially love the part where he says thanks to all the contributors for working for free all year.
Judging by the complaints from contributors, it was not by choice, I'm sure.......
