I'm new to this forum, and retuning recently to the hobby. Reading this thread, and the others in this section, I feel like I missed something. I assumed the magazine was putting out a monthly issue (or quarterly or however it comes out) but it sounds like there is a problem? I've looked and I don't see any publisher statement type things about it. With Scale Auto Enthusiast being discontinued, I was thinking of subscribing to this one but now I'm not sure if that's a good plan. Can someone give a "quick update on why there are 3 threads about subscription updates" for those of us just tuning in? Did the magazine change owners or something? COVID problems? If that's explained somewhere, could someone post a link? Thanks.

Hi Ron,
The magazine has had some difficulties in the recent past and is in the process of rebooting.  Gregg Hutchings still owns the magazine.  There's a new team in place here at MCM, myself included, that's behind the "new and improved" magazine.

MODEL CARS Magazine is published bimonthly, as in, 6 times a year.

Thank you. Hope to see the new issue on the shop shelves soon.

Received the new issue today! Looks like a really good issue, too.

And I received my Shadow racing team book by Pete Lyons today from Amazon. So, its been a really good day. ?

If I subscribe before the end of the month will I start with the current issue?

Hi Lee,

Issue #207 has already been sent out, so if you subscribe at this time, you'll start with Issue #208.  You'll be able to get issue #207 either from one of our dealers, or as a back issue ordered through our web site.

Thanks and regards,

[TonyK]

Got issue #207 yesterday and a quick thumb through looks as good as always. Lots of different subjects. Always like the model reviews but the photos were funky looking. Great to see a new mag! Good job to everyone involved.

I haven't rec'd the latest issue yet and I no longer have the bag the last issue was mailed in but I know my subscription still had outstanding issues. I can't remember when it runs/ran out.  Is there any way of checking the status of my subscription?

[Cliff W]

I subscribed on November 9 through the website and Paypal processed my money - will I be getting issue #207 or will my subscription begin with the next issue?

I suspect I already know the answer but would like to confirm.  There are no hobby shops in my area that carry magazines so I am particularly interested.

Thanks,

Hi Cliff,

Subscriptions start with the next issue following your subscription registration, not the current issue.  So your subscription will start with #208.

Best regards,

[Wylde]

I think my parts are featured in that issue. Can anyone confirm? 3D printed Monte Carlo conversion kits. I should subscribe.

I can confirm Mr. Geiger's pithy yet comprehensive and expansive assessment.  No Monte parts. 

Maybe next issue.

It appears no one is listening.

The only one that can answer these questions is Larry (and maybe Dave) who actually does not come around here much. Any of you try to message or email him?
