I have also been looking into subscribing to another magazine. So with some of the suggestions in the link here are some of those magazines and prices (some are converted from euros, so obviously will the conversion rate will change after i post this). <all of these are 1 year subscription rates, to the U.S.>
Finescale Modeler $40 (10 Issues)
Military Miniatures in Review $48 (6 issues)
AFV Modeler $62 (6 issues)
Military in Scale $86 (12 issues)
Model Military International $86.50 (12 issues)
If you’re interest is aircraft, Scale Aviation Modeller is an excellent publication.
Regards, Rick
thank you for the replies.
I bought a few different mags at a local book store to check them out: Scale Aviation Modeller International, Tamiya Model International, and Military Aircraft Monthly. I would say, along with FSM, the Scale Aviation Modeller was my favorite. The Military Aircraft Monthly was great in that it had lots of technical info about the real aircraft, but I think I would only by certain issues that had a focus on a certain airplane…
Tamiya was just way too biased—All Tamiya products!! plus the articles were kinda light, and I liked FSMs formatting better.

I guess you can be biased if you publish your own magazine. Can’t fully knock Tamiya though, they make great products.
I subscribe to FSM, Combat Aircraft Monthly, Scale Aviation Modeler International. I also pick up Air Forces Monthly and Military Aircraft Monthly and Model Airplane International.
