Military Miniatures in Review is an armor-based magazine that has been around for many years. While this is not the first issue that I have been exposed to, it has been a while since I had picked up a copy.

One of the first things that I noticed about this magazine is its construction. It has very thick front and back covers with the pages being bound together with glue. All of the photographs are in color and very sharp and clear. One note of interest is they way that the articles are written. They are written as if the person writing them is talking to you, a somewhat different approach from many of the magazines that I read.

This issue starts off with fourteen pages of new products coming to the market, followed by seven articles. The articles are Meng’s Menacing Merkava; Medic! Resuscitating the WC-54 (Using the Peerless/Italeri Kit); Buffalo Soldier: Dragon’s Bison II; A Cherry Chi-Ri and a Crunchy Chi-To: The Fine Molds Kits (Type 5 and Type 4 Japanese Tanks); Diagnosis Diorama: Creating an Ardennes Backdrop for the M-10 (step by step article on creating buildings and groundwork from scratch); Patrol in the Debris Field (unique article for an armor magazine as it uses Mech sci-fi model kits. As the author says “Very different, yet strangely familiar – armor techniques in space”); and M-17: Russkie Meat Chopper (using the Dragon M16 MGMC kit).

Overall, this is another great armor modeling magazine that is out there and I would recommend this magazine to fellow armor modelers.

I would like to thank Ampersand Publishing and IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review this magazine.
