FineScale Modeler, or "FSM," as many of our readers refer to it, is the world's leading magazine devoted to the hobby of scale modeling. Our readers build models of every kind of subject you can imagine, from planes, armored vehicles, ships, and figures to autos, sci-fi spaceships, and real space vehicles. We present stories about those topics - and more - in the pages of the magazine as well as o

n our site. FSM publishes 6 print issues plus 4 FineScale Modeler DLC (Downloadable Content) packages a year, and in each installment, we seek to help our readers enjoy their hobby more through articles that help build better modeling skills. In addition, the FSM staff produces Great Scale Modeling, a special issue that features some of the best models from around the world, and highlights model shows. We inspire our readers by presenting the best of the hobby in FSM's Reader Gallery and Showcase sections and keep our readers informed about the latest kits and products. Above all, though, we work to produce the best modeling magazine in the world and to give our customers a good value. FSM readers live in more than 80 countries, and we welcome those of you who live outside North America. FSM is truly an international magazine, and we have readers and authors from around the world.

We are neck deep in Contest Cars 2024! As you can see, we're already handing off to design 30 shows featuring more than 500 models from builders hailing from all corners of the globe. Maybe it's cliche to say that we're extremely proud about how this contest annual is coming together, but, we are. Thanks to all of the model contests who have submitted images for consideration this year. And we're already at work on next year. Contest Cars with be available soon for pre-order direct from us (we'll announce that date when we have it), and it goes on sale in stores Nov. 12, 2024. As you know, Contest Cars is an annual near and dear to my heart. We can't do it without your support. So please, like this post and share widely. -Tim Kidwell, editor, Scale Model Brands, Firecrown Media #finescalemodelermagazine #finescalemodeler #scaleauto #scalemodels #scalemodelling #scalemodeling #modelcars #modelmaking #modelbuilding #hobbies #hobbiesareimportant #hobbiesandpassions #modelcontest #modelcontests
