### 5/5 — Great Escape

*2020-09-10*

Good read most months and provides good ideas on scale subjects. The plans appear only available with the magazine and not with the digital version which is a shame.. otherwise if you like scale subjects and little history on the mark then a good read..

### 2/5 — Material great, app very poor

*2018-01-28*

I enjoy reading and getting ideas on building scale. The app is disappointing. Locks up can’t read current or past issues.

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish

*2016-05-08*

Have thrown away a year's subscription, and unable to access any issue! Support is non-existent! Do not waste your money!!

### 3/5 — Variety..

*2013-08-02*

Quite like this magazine no trouble down loading, my only gripe is sometimes it contents can be fixated with a single subject exploring it in the minutia. But then again I keep reading it.

### 1/5 — Does work

*2013-01-02*

Does not work on my iPad

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-12-30*

Would not open, just says "loading please wait".
