Thanks for the preview Doug. Will look out for it in Smiths.

Can the special big announcement be revealed? Is it Heljans plans for 2008/9?

Is it me or is the general level of content decreasing ? The last few issues seem to be mainly reviews and very few articles and this monthsa well you get the reviews followed by the Mostyn column and NO modelling articles at all !!!


I think the editor needs to stand back and compare recent issues with those of a year or two ago because i thing RexModeller is starting to lose its way a bit
