larrygre Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 20 minutes ago, Ron Warner said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagerpm Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 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. ? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If I subscribe before the end of the month will I start with the current issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDSchindler Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff W Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 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.
