Hi there, Great topic, and yes it would be a big project to digitize all the issues. But... I actually have a COMPLETE collection of Model Cars Magazine that I assembled during the worst of the pandemic via eBay when we couldn't go anywhere. It took a quite a lot of searching and expense, but I love this magazine. I also have MOST of the issues of Plastic Fanatic. Missing a very few earlier issues, but I have a list that tells me what I am missing. I also have EVERY issue of Car Model magazine, EVERY issue of Model Car Science magazine, and EVERY issue of Scale Auto Enthusiast and later Scale Auto. I also have the Scale Auto DVDs, both sets. The copyrights never expire, however, which would make copying any of these magazines illegal. If others have sizable collections of Model Cars Magazine, maybe we could each help to digitize them for Model Cars Magazine and Gregg so that he could produce his own DVDs and monetize them. This would only work if we donated our time to digitize the issues well and then gave them to Gregg 100%, so that he as the copyright holder could use them legally. But as the MCM folks said, there may not be much of a payback for sales of the DVDs due to the smaller readership. If I ever decide to sell all my issues, I will post my intentions here in case anyone is interested. Best wishes, Todd

Hi all, I, too, have still NOT received my copy of Issue 214. It is now two months late since it was allegedly sent out around mid-June. Gregg and Dave, can you help us, please? Thanks! Todd

Thank you but I found the last issue I was looking for! Now I have them all!

Thanks, man! SAFE TRAVELS! yours, Todd

I think DVDs of the collection would be fabulous. Especially if they were PRINTABLE. I'm still trying to find a print version of Issue 80 to compete my Model Cars Magazine collection. Thanks and best wishes, Todd

Hi there, Did you ever find the issue you were looking for? I have a copy of that issue in my collection, but if you need it, I can COPY it for you. Any chance you have a copy of Issue 80? That is the last one I need to complete my Model Cars Magazine collection and I am still trying to buy one. THANKS! Todd

No problem, and I am a new forum poster, so I forgot about that. Best wishes, Todd

Hi back, Jolly, I have one of the old IMC VW kits I would be willing to sell, if you are interested.

Would the old IMC 1/25 VW Beetle 3 in 1 kit work for you?

Hi and thanks, But I already checked the back issues page. The issues I am seeking are not available as back issues from Model Cars magazine. And that is why I posted my request. Thanks, though.

Hi everyone, Thanks for checking to see if you had a copy of this issue, because I now found someone who had it and now I have it! This completes my back issue collection of the fabulous Model Cars magazine. I FOUND IT, so NEVERMIND NOW! Might anyone here have the Model Cars Magazine August/September 2002, Issue 80, issue for sale or trade???? FOUND IT! THANKS! Todd
