This is the 3rd issue of this magazine I have had the privilege to review and it is undoubtedly my favorite one to date. Why, you ask? Well, not only did I like almost every subject in this issue, but mainly because of 3 very awesome dioramas. But, more on those later.

First off, a pet peeve of mine is articles that continue through 2 or more issues. Problem is, you may miss an issue with the conclusion or even start of a project or, as in this instance, an article may not continue in the next issue. This is spelled out in the editorial that two of the articles I covered part I of in Issue 23 were held up for production issues but should appear in issue 25. I did appreciate that Mike took the time to spell this out, as I was a little lost on my first glance through. Oh well, these things happen but the stories in this issue more than make up for the unfinished stories.

Volume 24 contains a whopping 15 articles in its 100 pages, all about modeling projects.

Out of Poland comes a series of add ons. This one is a turned brass replacement for the pitot tube on a F-111.

It looks fantastic and the instructions indicate that it replaces the kit part. The one thing missing is that they don't recommend which kit to use. According to their website it will work on any 72nd scale kit. I don't have an Aardvark in my stash to check but it sure looks like it will improve any kit.

The brass part is well-made and very petite. It requires no further clean up (as opposed to what the kit parts will need) and won’t break during handling while finishing your model. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Master Model Poland for the sample and to IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review it.
