Bernd Offerings

Chief Editor Marcus Nicholls tries his hand at assembling the champion car of the year 2000 DTM (German Touring Car Championships), Bernd Schneider's Mercedes CLK DTM and offers a non-decal way to simulate carbon fiber texture. Nicholls's insightful airbrush techniques can be used on a wide variety of car models.

Cult of the Ninja

The form of the revolutionary mechanics of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R released as a 1/12 scale model. This kit review article by Keith Bristow explains in thorough detail the most faithful reproduction of Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R. Pictures of Bristow's model are so beautiful and authentic, you'll swear your looking at the actual Ninja!

Dusted and Busted

The Editor kills a tree and crashes Tamiya's big zero, showing how to make a scenic base for it without using filler or paint. The crash landing scene article features easy-to-make dirt and refers back to an article on making palm trees in issue 77.

Nautical but Nice

Two of Tamiya's biggest warship kits (755mm long hulls) the 1/350 scale Yamato and the Musashi, get brassed and plastered by TMMI's regular maritime modeler, Ian Ruscoe. Photos show the use of photo etched brass parts to recreate walkways, radars, cranes and more! Roscoe's models portray these two ships as they appeared on their final missions with added AA-guns. The detail is superb and the article is replete with revealing pictures that are worth a thousand words.
