Circuits and Bumps

The Saab Draken in the previous post was the last build for Scale Aviation Modeller International magazine's 'Circuits and Bumps' series, which I've been writing for the last 2 years. Here's a link to pics of all the models in the series.

  1. Great to see the collection all together.
    The Shooting star just blew me away when I first saw it.

  3. The Draken turned out beautifully. Sorry to hear that your series in Scale Aircraft Modeler International is ending; it's about the only reason I'd continued to buy the magazine!

  4. Thanks for that Terry, glad you enjoyed the series. There's still the 'Classic Plastic' series in SAMI which deals with older kits.

  5. Mike, Thanks for the colour info and link to IPMS. I too am disappointed to hear CandB is over...like Terry, it was my main reason for buying SAMI. Will your models appear in other print mags?

  6. Thanks Randy, I appreciate that. I'll still continue to contribute to SAMI occasionally, just not on a monthly basis and not necessarily 70s Airfix kits ;)

  7. Hi Mike, always loved your SAMI articles, is there anywhere I can purchase them all together?
