Sometime in the early 90s a new magazine for plastic model builders hit the market. I don’t remember the name anymore but IIRC it was primarily for aircraft modellers. What I DO remember is a Vampire on the cover with the heading “Sexy Vamps!”.
Mom later told me I was about to catch hell for bringing “that kind” of magazine home until she realized it was about model airplanes…

This is my ad free non-profit blog of my research notes on military history since April 2018.
This is a reference blog focused on a narrow niche of firearms, the Colt 1873 Single Action Army and it’s its replica clones. What they are, when they were made, how to fix them. Best navigation will be done by search or by browsing categories. Enjoy
