looks very good indeed, but i have to be selective in which i want since i am more into land battles
damn bf-109 and ju-88 sure are tempting

and since some are of 1:72, that is good because are in scale with the tanks as well

yea, i just want those bombers...but damn they're in 1/100

which are in scale with gundams

got it from allscript last week when buying the tanks at their office.cant wait for the next issue.is the third issue is super hornet?not the p51 mustang?

ah yeh..ahahahaha
wonder how big will the bombers be in 1/100

u went there on monday bro?
cuz i met another guy who bought some tanks wif 2 spitfires and subs to the fighter aircrafts too

Wow... so, how many issues available at Allscript currently?

currently juz issue 1 bro,
they still waiting for some more stocks,
the one i bought i think was only the initial stocks

This mag released already?

either this week or in June bro,
but u can get it now by subscribing or direct to their office

Ok. I wait for news when it arrives at their HQ. Me want to get everything in one go if possible

Btw, do they accept credit card?

ya...they accept it

For non-subscription? Like just buy off the shelf?

yes but u still to fill the subscription form whether u pay by cc or cash that what they told me.e.g if u buy 3 issue then u pay for the total of three issue with the subscription form fill

Fabbri fighter aircrafts collection different a bit with new fighter aircrafts collection as the FAC magazines have 1:72 scale model
