Sounds great. I'll be waiting for the digital pre-orders going up...

Yes, we will offer that option.

Great News ! I'm just waiting for my bank to give me a new credit card since the last one had to be cancelled due to unauthorized use

As much as I enjoy the female figure, I hope you don't have plans to incorporate it into the magazine, a la "The Weathering Magazine".

Far from Playboy, and no different than most of the car/motorcycle magazines out there, except that Akatsiya doesn't actually show up on every page in the magazine.

I personally don't have a problem with it.

 

[TRM]

Well, only personally now, I am looking forward to a modeling mag dedicated to what it is....modeling! ;D Please don't get me wrong on this....Akatsiya is smoking , but a bit risqué if left on the coffee table in some situations.

If I want to pick up a magazine to read about modeling as a hobby, I kind of expect just that...plastic models, tutorials, great articles, no ads.....Hence, why I am beyond excited to rip into the pages of the SMA Magazine as it fits all these criteria.

Seeing that a number of posts seem to be solely on another magazine additionally curvy pictorial content...

I might be out of the loop (or just separated from the civilized world), I have to ask - "Akatsiya"?

Just curious.

 

[Ian]

The model magazine in question is AK Interactive's "The Weathering Magazine".

 

[hooterville75]

lol Spud Im with you on this one. Its always nice to have some good eye candy to look at while reading and looking at the kits, ads or articles were reading ha ha. ;D

Thanks for the answer Ian.

I did a Google search when I got home from work. I was surprised. Very true she's a beautiful woman, but IMHO her curvy addition in a modelling magazine seems out of place (even a little sexist) considering the magazine content. I'm sure she'll help to sell the magazine though (I was curious enough to Google her). Again this is only my opinion (based on a fast Google search and reading 3-4 reviews), the magazine preview I saw looked great, it might have some really great content; but somehow it lowers the bar, and ends up feeling adolescent.

 

[Ian]

The magazine is great and I recommend picking up a copy, but for me, the addition of "Akatsiya" just isn't necessary.
