Just when the warm weather comes and we can relax in the garden or on a beach with a good read we have to do without FSM. Why only ten issues still. ?
I was wondering that same thing when looking at subscribing. I may wait until September so I can get a constant run of issues.
Actually this has been brought up before. It seems FSM doesn’t feel they can get enough advertsing and that the quality would suffer if they produced 12 issues. I wish they would produce areaders gallery issue during the summer to fill the void. Yah, an issue with nothing more than readers photos and some small degree of advertising.
An issue with just pictures would suite me[^]
Recently, TMMI went monthly. I really hope FSM does the same.
i have 1 symbol

Sure would be nice to have 12 issues per year. No matter how many other bills might be in the mailbox with it, it’s always a pleasure to see FSM.
You mean I have to go the whole summer without a mag??!! I didn’t even notice that!!! [V][V] and what do we pay?? $40.00 for the sub?! Need to read the fine print better I suppose!! Not to mention I don’t get the freebies!!! (sigh)
No June or August issue Heath.
Yes tigerman I also think a special issue of just readers/competition photos would be great and maybe a special interest issue as well to make the 12. Its been soooooo long since the last issue
Thanks guys that would explain why I can’t get next months issue! DOH! likewise I didn’t read the small print
Hey does that mean Lawrence has a two month holiday?[:O][:D][:D]

Yeah, I’d like to have 12 issues per year, but if it reduces the overall quality of the mag, I’ll live with 10.
If you had 2 symbols, would that then be a high hat?
only if they struck together
groan.
The good news is the July issue is on its way, and the teasers should be up on the website by Monday. I’m talkin’ about the special All D-Day All the Time (almost) issue.
And, thank heaven, there’s these Forums to tide you over the lean summer months. [;)][:)]
I wish… The two “off” months are taken up by working ahead for (1) the jumbo issue in November and (2) Great Scale Modeling.
FSM is NOT a “high roller.” it is good though, and doens’t need to be a high roller
I think that 10 issues is enoughf but they could go with two more issues.ONE could be readers tips and the other could be a gallery issue.Digger
Maddafinger must be a drummer.[:)]
I for one would sure like to see 12 issues. For June and August, I’ll go back and read an issue that’s several years old but it always makes my day when I see FSM in the mail box! How about making FSM a weekly magazine? (Yeah, I know, but it’s nice to dream, eh?[:)])
I wouldn’t mind a special issue devoted to readers tips, gallery photos and expanded kit builds. Each issue has about 5-6 builds. Well, how many new kits are released in a year by the manufacturers? They can’t even touch 1% of new releases. It would be nice to get some skinny on pe and am parts also.
