Greetings everyone!

I'd like to thank all of you for your enthusiastic support of this online modeler's magazine. This month, we are featuring an interesting selection of aircraft subjects and a peek at the latest off the production lines. We at Internet Modeler would like to take this opportunity to thank the hobby manufacturers and distributors who send us their latest releases so that we can bring you the up-to-date news and views of latest threats to your (and my) hobby budget.

I'd also like to encourage everyone to read through all of the articles that we feature here at IM. It's tempting to skip over an article of a subject you don't care about, but you could be missing out on some construction and finishing techniques that may help you with the projects you are interested in.

As always, please feel free to drop us an email and let us know your thoughts and suggestions for improving IM. In the meantime, let's keep building...

Respectfully,

Michael Benolkin
