Excellent issue! Mine arrived last Thursday and I couldn't put it down until I finished reading all the articles and studying a couple of them.

Another Three Wows! issue!!

(That's graded on a scale of one to four, and no one ever gets a four.)

[Chuck Most]

I'd say it pegs a solid 11 wows, but that's just me.

[mikemodeler]

well, if the post office hasn't changed, I will get the November issue sometime in January, the December issue ??????

Issue 163 was received yesterday in pristine condition.

[High octane]

I'll have to check it out at the LHS.

I was in my local Hobby Town yesterday, but it wasn't.

[Guest]

Got mine Saturday, read it right on the spot. Minor damage to back cover.

[jjsipes]

I always get mine about a month after you guys do and the covers are always ripped to pieces. Must be the mailman wanting to read something good?

[Rob Hall]

Got mine a week or so back, arrived in fine shape.

[Harry P.]

I always get mine about a month after you guys do and the covers are always ripped to pieces. Must be the mailman wanting to read something good?

The back cover of mine was about 50% missing... and what was left of it was torn up and wrinkled.

[Chuck Most]

THIS is on the back cover. On the outside, anyway= http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/amt/images/amt_0690_title.jpg

I can't complain mine showed up on christmas and the sad part was it was the best gift I got this year THANX GREGG AND HARRY.

[jjsipes]

I lucked out this time I just got mine today. Looks great but I need to wait to read it tonight since I have work to do. Looks great though I did thumb through it. And its all one piece too. Thanks guys.

[Gregg]

Thanks, guys.

The issues are getting better and better every month.

And, please people, can you keep the sarcasm on the delivery schedule down?

I am doing the best I can, and this constant berating does not help.

I understand your frustration, and I appreciate your patience.

[Nick Notarangelo]

I have no need to complainsince I subscribe and dont have to do the hunt for it any more.

[Gregg]

Also, the office is requesting that anyone who has received their copy of the magazine to contact them, and they will send a replacement, but they are also requesting that the damaged magazine be returned to the office. They are working on getting I guess you could call it evidence together for this problem.

Thanks.

All the veteran mail-mauler's must be on vacation.... My issue arrived yesterday in perfect condition. A first.

[route66modeler]

no problem, keep them coming. steve

[Ryan S.]

Got mine yesterday also. I had some slight damage to the back cover, but not enough to be concerned about. If it gets worse I'll let the publisher know.

Great issue btw.

[BOSWELL891]

My mom subscribed for me a week or two ago and she said it said 6 to 8 weeks but mines already here in perfect condition very fast shipment in my opinion

[Jairus]

I've never received a damaged issue in my life so you can check Salem, Oregon off your list Gregg.

[Dave]

I also cannot recall ever getting a damaged copy, believe me, I do far more damage to them than any postman ever could!

[jbwelda]

did your proofreader quit? just wondering...

[jbwelda]

really though, nice issue. i liked the article on the ferrari build, the resin stuff and i always enjoy that diecast roundup at the end. i just subscribed after 10 or more years of buying at the LHS (RIP) and my two issues so far have been in decent shape considering the PO' s general handling. good work as usual!
