Everyone,

Hopefully most of you know that "Boresight" is the journal of the Armor Modeling and Preservation Society (AMPS). We have decided that the issue after next will be a special issue, dedicated to the Stuart series of vehicles. We have a couple of articles lined up, but are looking for more material. We are looking for reviews of aftermarket items, kit build articles, history/research articles.

Our current articles include a photo essay on the M2A3 Light Tank, detailed interior photos of the M3A1 and a conversion article on the M3E2 Automotive Prototype. We are hoping to publish an expanded issue if you guys pitch in with material.

Authors can contact me at my home address:

tankmodeler at rogers dot com

If you guys like this, we'll be putting out more specials in the future.

With a little luck, this issue will be published just before Christmas so renewals received before publishing will get this issue as part of their membership.

Though I can't contribute anything useful for this issue, I just wanted to chime in and say that I love the idea of a special issue devoted to a single subject. This makes the Boresight even more useful as a reference. That is, the single focus issue makes it possible to get a little more depth on a subject and then is a very convenient place to go for the information. The idea has my hearty endorsement (for whatever that's worth). Now if only someone could write an article on Stuarts in the Pacific...

And if that someone could get it to me by the end of the second week of December, I'd print it! :-)
