1/72 Academy challenger 1 Mk. 3 = This build was inspired by photos of an experimental digital camouflage scheme painted on a Challenger 2 and depicts what an early prototype scheme might have looked like on a Challenger 1 Mk.3 – which to the best of my knowledge, never had such a scheme applied to it – thus the “Digital Fantasy” aspect. It was accomplished using rattle cans (no airbrush) and required the cutting and masking of many hundreds of tiny little pieces of Tamiya 1mm masking tape which were applied with tweezers and a toothpick. This is what the tank might have looked like, in more or less pristine shape, from the paint workshop prior to field testing. The turret antenna, beacon light, and vision ports forward of the commander’s hatch were scratch built, and I filled the communication cable spool with fine black thread. Binary artwork was turned into a CD label, which was then applied to an actual CD and mounted onto the wooden base. A protective clear CD blank was applied over the CD. The circular wood base was purchased unfinished from a craft store and then sanded and painted semi-gloss black.

I am sorry to come and complain. I love the magazine, have been an subscriber for a while, both print and digital (not at the same time). And for budgetary reasons, for now it is digital. Is it possible to please, please consider a different venue/platform for the digital magazine? The customer service and the overall service of magzter is horrible. This year will definately be my last year for Magzter, I tried it, tried it again and it does not improve. I also had back in the days a digital subscription to SAE and it was provided through Zinio. Maybe you could consider that? The app works a lot better, the subscriptions work better, barely any need to the customer service and overall just so much better. I do understand that there is more that meets the eye, but just look into it, please. Thank you ?
