peter31a Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Yep! Received issue #160 today with April cover date on it. They are really starting to catch up! Lot's of good stuff in it. Gregg does a review of the new Mergatroid air brush. It's a new company making air brushes out of Carbon Fiber. He states: Heavens to Mergatroid that's one fine air brush. Exit stage left. O.K. Pau Harry has gotten into the writing biz with an article on how easy and fun it is to assemble a Pocher kit. Moebius have announced if the Hudson and Chrysler do well, they will bring out a 51 Studebaker and a 49 Oldsmobile. The Resin Talk columnist says the new Amphicar kit from Ma's Resin really floats his boat. Wayne Moyer does his usual excellent reviews in Collector's Showcase and also has an article on adding brake lines to collectible model cars. Bill and Len build the new Revell 48 Ford with the surprise stock parts and body. Larry Greenberg is amazed at the new Revell 40 Ford woody based on their convertible kit and is also mighty impressed with the glue together 66 Batmobile kit from Round 2 Tim Ahlborn steps out of his comfort zone and turns the new Moebius Lonestar into a rocket powered exhibition truck and finally Gregg announces in his editors column that he was able to purchase another car builders magazine that another company was divesting itself from for peanuts. Our favourite mag will now be called Scale Cars Auto Magazine or SCAM for short. Isn't it a lovely April day? I think I'll go sit out in the sun. Edited April 1, 2011 by fordmodelaeh

peter31a Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Sorry Matthew. It's April 1st. I'm glad my review sounded beleivable but it's a SCAM. I always get my mags about 3 weeks after you guys do. I'll be lucky to get January's in 2 to 3 weeks. Sorry about that. O.K. I see you were editing while I was responding. Glad you got it.

highway Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Yep, read my edit to my post, I was just a little slow figuring it out!!!
crazyjim Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I don't think it's funny. I was really hoping for a new MCM issue.
LAone Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 hahaha, nice one. when i read the SCAM part i cracked up..gotta love today. i hope to find some mags at the LHS this weekend wish me luck
MikeMc Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Harry has gotten into the writing biz with an article on how easy and fun it is to assemble a Pocher kit. This was the clue............
highway Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I picked up a new one (or, at least I assume it's new; who really knows anymore) at my LHS last night. Don't have it in front of me so I don't know the month/issue number. There's a blue Trumpeter Ford GT-40 on the cover. Ken, that is the January issue #156 I mentioned that I picked up yesterday, too.
