### 5/5 — Great magazine!

*2026-03-12*

Nothing I love more than when a new issue drops and there's enough in there to keep me occupied til then. Thanks y'all!

### 4/5 — Tamiya magazine.

*2022-10-20*

Bit plane and armour heavy, considering they do two other mags that only cover those subjects. Needs more civilian vehicles, boats, figures and sci-fi.

Good in depth articles with good photos. One advantage of the digital edition is being able to zoom in on details.

I’ve been buying this magazine for years as it’s one of the best out there.

### 5/5 — Terrific

*2022-06-05*

Very good app. Works as it should and reading mags is no problem.

### 5/5 — Horizontal mode

*2021-10-01*

I hope I could use this app with horizonal orientation.

### 5/5 — Best way to read!

*2017-12-12*

This is hands down the best way to keep up with the scale model  world. In depth articles and reviews of the best models coming out. For me, reading on my iPad makes it even better allowing me to zoom in to look at the details. I recommend this to all that love plastic models.

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2017-06-21*

A nice way to read the magazine.

### 5/5 — The Very Best Modelling Magazine

*2017-02-03*

TMMI has always set the standard, by which other scale modelling magazines have strived to emulate. 

A well formatted publication; filled with informative articles and subject matter. 

The finish of all models is of the highest quality found anywhere. 

My only (slight) criticism; would be for the print version of the magazine, to use higher quality paper.

### 4/5 — Alastair

*2016-12-13*

Great modelling magazine with plenty of technical hints to improve my modelling. A diverse range of models covered to spark interest.

### 5/5 — Muito Bom

*2016-05-01*

Muito Bom

### 1/5 — Nach Abo-Ende auch gekaufte Titel nicht mehr verfügbar

*2016-03-03*

Habe das Abo der Zeitschrift nach 6 Monaten auslaufen lassen, weil ich nur noch Einzelhefte kaufen möchte. Der Grund dafür ist, dass mich nur wenige Artikel wirklich interessieren und die Zeitschrift leider mit Werbung vollgestopft ist. Also wollte ich das Magazin nur selektiv beziehen.
Sehr negativ ist: Nach Ablauf sind nun alle bereits (mit dem Abo) bezahlten Ausgaben wieder kostenpflichtig. Was soll das? Warum soll ich für Ausgaben doppelt bezahlen, nur weil ich kein Abonnent mehr bin? Ich bin der Meinung, ein "lebenslanges Leserecht" erworben zu heben. Das scheint aber nicht der Fall zu sein, obwohl das nirgends erwähnt wird.
Mein Fazit: Nicht Empfehlenswert!
