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.

FineScale Modeler, known to our readers simply as FSM, is the world's leading magazine devoted to the hobby of scale modeling. But it’s not enough for us to show you the world’s greatest scale models: We show you how to build them! You’ll find step-by-step advice on building models of nearly anything you can think of — aircraft, armored vehicles, ships, scale figures, autos, real as well as science-fiction spaceships — even a few things you never imagined, both in the magazine and at www.FineScale.com. And in every issue you’ll read reviews of new kits by experts who actually build the models and guide you through them, along with regular reports on new products, answers to modeling questions, reader-contributed building tips, and the always popular Gallery featuring readers’ photos of amazing models! Published 10 times a year, FSM builds your skills and increases your enjoyment of the hobby by showing you how to build better models. Whether you’re new to modeling, returning to the hobby after many years, or looking for ways to take your skills to the next level, FSM shows you how! Ready to build something?
