how many total issue for this series? so far only got till issue 2.. cant find the web link shown in the mag... broken link.. wanna know more bout the subscription freebies... to me 29.90 abit too high.. 19.90 still ok .. like last time the plan/copter series the price is nice.. that also cannot complete.

So far I have issue 1 only.

So far, if I'm not mistaken the UK edition is now at around 70th+ edition:

I was told that you can try subscribing in allscript.com, but I never tried it before till now. Like you, the freebies are very tempting as well.
As for the price, it justifies well due to it's size, details, case and magazine that you'll get. Usually a 1/72 model tank would start at around MYR 20 and above, moreover you have to assemble and colour, detail and weather by yourself. Furthermore, unlike model kits, the tanks provided are mix of die-cast and plastic, and I personally quite satisfied with it

DO WANT!
where can I get one?

bro Tiger I finally got it?

cant wait for issue 2, reli like to have the Challenger

As for now, the current issue would be the 3rd issue that include Polish T-55A with free magazine binder which that would be MYR 29.90 onwards. As for other places, there are also available from Cheras Leisure Mall as well.

Yeah, thanks to you bro
Got my two 1st issues from a fellow forumer and bought the second one from Kinokuniya, but here the second issue is M1A1HA Abrams, not the Challenger 1.

yaya, its the M1 that i wan, i always keep confused these 2, lol

Bookstore.

anyone know where can I order one online?
I don't go out often.

You ought to try here:
http://allscript.com/partworks_product_det...D0005&stc=75066

anybody know or link to photo of actual display case that the subcription is offering?

do note that this magazine still just a soft launch...allscript still testing the market (as always :s)

if not mistaken they only take your subscription after May 2012...so you most probably will see it on newsstand up till issues 5 and then have to wait for the proper launch

according to the link provided . it is already up to 90+ issue.. wow.. another long series...

bro vincc, what happen if the market aint good? then will not continue ke?

If not continue also nothing harm since this is not like McLaren where you must buy every issue to complete the car

That would be quite a long time to wait. I for one am aiming for the display rack and the Famo truck

Good thing eh? But then I am always looking forward for it not to discontinued.

most of the time if the market not good...they only entertain those customer who send them the subscription paper.

I think they wont sell in the newsstand anymore

Manage to grab last 3rd issue yesterday from Wangsa Walk's Popular. The binder is good, and should hold up 15 issues altogether

They sell the binder?

^ the magazine binder is included in the 3rd issue as a freebie
