I really enjoy Abrams Squad magazine. I renewed my subscription about a week ago and just pre-ordered the Gulf War special. I have all three of their other special editions and find them very insightful. I have noticed some inaccuracies in a few of their builds, but I tend to overlook them and enjoy the creative liberty modeling allows each of us.

I thought the MLRS looks really nice. Besides the what was mentioned being inaccurate. I'd be really happy with the model. Lol

A bit disappointed that the only UK vehicle is a Challenger, what about a warrior or a scimitar or perhaps some resin vehicle offerings from AA?

this special edition of abrams squad is so good.8/10

I prefer detailed steps and interesting techniques and subjects over accuracy. That helps more in achieving great results that screw-head-exact models, IMHO... Details are more important when it comes to reference material (e.g. battle filed vehicles vs. museum/exhibition objects).

Well, IMHO, A.S. is state of the art in modeling mags Complete detailed building processes, comprehensive explanations about painting methods, tons of references, full list of aftermarkets and materials used, exhaustive bibliography... And a exquisite care in layout and edition small details. I have my shelves loaded with lot of mags I´ll never have a look at again, but Abrams Squad is a constant reference to check since issue#1 for me. Not to mention the Special editions which are going to become an "Osprey class" collectable. I´m looking forward to put my hands on it.

Abrams Squad is a serious magazine, and its creators are very professional and love our hobby. They have an original name for their magazine, which is also inspiring for modelers who love modern stuff. They are careful about the quality of their product and published models are "state of art" certainly. Maybe we should flee from the facile and superficial criticism and encourage these guys to continue their work.

Fantastic magazine. I look forward to the next issue. Mike

I've gotta throw in here..... the finishing techniques, processes and such that go into a "model" are becoming more and more emphasized in hobby literature now, and that's fine and dandy, being such a large part of the hobby to so many people. But I tend to lose interest when accuracy as far as obvious technical things are passed over as being part of the "art", specifically things like stowage blocking vision devices or weapons, floating stowage, and major evidence of paint deterioration when none should be evident. Granted, it's all part of a hobby, and we all have our preferences, but there are times when I'd like to see a little more thought given by the builder to: "could or should that really look like that?". I'm also very much interested in the assembly process, something skated over in most any article these days, but that's just me. "Abrams Squad" is a fine mag, don't get me wrong, and given that a few mags that used to be top shelf seem to be lagging or losing momentum, it's good to see the hobby in print, and I wish them a long and profitable run.
