Published on 29th February
This is the first of our 100-page ‘special issues’ for 2008 and it continues the format and numbering sequence of the Collectors’ Editions we began last year, as Issue 3, and covers military vehicles with modelling and historical features. Most of the articles in this issue are lengthy, more in-depth and larger than the articles we normally feature in monthly issues of Military Modelling magazine.
