Sky Model

Light on page count but that's probably due to very few advertisements. Focus appears to be more on build-up and modification of three or four subjects although there are great reviews of both current and out of production kits, resin part kits, decal kits, and photo-etched detail kits.

Geared toward the serious builder and definitely not for beginners. Even intermediate builders may be intimidated by the attention to detail: lots of scratch-building, use of photo-etched parts, and realistic dioramas in the builds. Planes have moveable flaps and rudders, working landing gears, built-in electric motors to spin the propellers, etc.

Build-ups include excellent color photos and colors appear spot-on with the real thing. Magazine is printed on thick glossy paper that will last a long time if taken care of. Just wish it were monthly instead of every other month.
